Answer 2

Epistemology is the theory of knowledge. It is a branch of philosophy that concentrates on the scope and nature of knowledge.

The term EPISTEMOLOGY was first used by the philosopher James Ferrier. The primary aim of epistemology is to analyse the nature of knowledge and how that knowledge relates to ideas of truth and belief.

It is also interested in questions relating to the production of knowledge and the veracity of different types of knowledge.
