a formal written defense used to justify one's beliefs or opinions
An apologia is a formal written or spoken defense or explanation of one's actions, beliefs, or opinions. It is often used to justify or clarify a position or decision, addressing criticisms or misunderstandings. Unlike a simple apology, which expresses regret for a mistake, an apologia aims to provide a reasoned argument or explanation for one's stance, often to persuade others or to clear up misconceptions.
