Epistemology - What is Knowledge?


Epistemology is the study of the nature, origin, and limits of human knowledge and related issues. The term is derived from the Greek epistēmē (knowledge) and the suffix -logy (the study of).  Therefore Epistemology is the study of knowledge.   Epistemology is considered one of the four main branches of philosophy, along with ethics, logic, and metaphysics.
