In this paper, we take a deep-fried dive into the philosophical implications of doughnuts. Using rigorous epistemological analysis, we ask the question: what do we actually know about doughnuts? Through extensive taste-testing (for research purposes, of course), we have determined that doughnuts are both round and delicious. However, this begs the ontological question: is doughnutness determined by its shape or its taste? Building off the works of Descartes and Kant, we argue that the essence of doughnutness lies not in its physical properties, but in our subjective experience of it. Our findings ultimately suggest that while doughnuts may not hold the key to unlocking the mysteries of the universe, they certainly provide a glaze of humor and joy to our everyday lives.
