Epistemology (
i/ɨˌpɪstɨˈmɒlədʒi/ from
Greek ἐπιστήμη - epistēmē, meaning "knowledge, understanding", and
λόγος - logos, meaning "study of") is the branch of
philosophy concerned with the nature and scope of
knowledge.
[1][2] It questions what knowledge is, how it is acquired, and the possible extent to which a given subject or entity can be known.
Much of the debate in this field has focused on
analyzing the nature of knowledge and how it relates to connected notions such as
truth,
belief, and
justification.
