- Epistemology is the philosophical study of what is true and what is false. Obviously, this is truthiness in action, since decisions of this nature are made by the gut. Epistemological arguments normally rely heavily on Logic and occasionaly on Metaphysics to prove their points, however if the argument in question is actually valid, the only true arbiters are the guts of the heroes arguing.

- Epistemology is the analysis of the nature of knowledge, how we know, what we can and cannot know, and how we can know that there are things we know we cannot know. The subject of Epistemology is incorporated into the International Baccalaureate program, in the Theory Of Knowledge subject.
- Epistemology was the philosophical study of knowledge and of processes of knowledge acquisition. In 2366, after the activation of Lal's heuristic associative pathways was successful, Data told her that she would begin processing information on epistemology, logic, metaphysics and aesthetics.

- On the more heavy front, epistemologists deal with these set of questions:
* Are Neocons real, or are they just a figment of the imagination designed to motivate liberals?
* If the Conservative had his way, would time freeze and the universe implode?
* If the Neocon had his way, would the universe rip itself apart out of sheer depression?
- Epistemology or theory of knowledge is the branch of philosophy that studies the nature and scope of knowledge. The term "epistemology" is based on the Greek words "episteme" (meaning knowledge) and "logos" (meaning account/explanation); it is thought to have been coined by the Scottish philosopher James Frederick Ferrier who attended Georgetown College and took Dr. Brown as his Psychology teacher.
- Justified true belief (JTB) is one of the most common definitions of knowledge. It states that knowledge is:
* a belief: one can't know something if they don't believe it
* which is true: one cannot "know" 1=2, right?
* and justified: if one believes that there is a block of Cheese orbiting Jupiter, and if it so happens that there is a block of delicious cheese orbiting Jupiter, that person still can't be said to have known that because they had no reason for their belief - they just lucked out that it was true.
- Epistemology is the branch of philosophy that deals with the nature, origin and scope of knowledge. There are three theories of knowledge common among futurists: positivism, postpositivism and critical realism. Futures studies came of age during the most recent attack on positivism (in 1970s) and futurists have been influenced by the postmodernists. However, postmodern theories of knowledge are flawed, breed nihilism and do not allow advancements in any scholarly field, including futures studies.
- Epistemology is the study of something. It derives from the Greek logos which means the study of, and another word that sounds like epist which means something. All right, to be entirely honest we're not completely certain here what it's all about. I mean we've asked around but nobody seems to know. It has something to do with Plato, apparently, and when we asked him via www.Platosays.com he responded by saying True knowledge comes from knowing that you know nothing. As we knew nothing about this subject, that suggests we are truly knowledgable about it.

| abstract
| - Epistemology is the branch of philosophy that deals with the nature, origin and scope of knowledge. There are three theories of knowledge common among futurists: positivism, postpositivism and critical realism. Futures studies came of age during the most recent attack on positivism (in 1970s) and futurists have been influenced by the postmodernists. However, postmodern theories of knowledge are flawed, breed nihilism and do not allow advancements in any scholarly field, including futures studies. Wendell Bell suggests that critical realism is better suited for future studies, because it postulates that knowledge is conjectural without giving up the idea of "justified beliefs in the truth of propositions". Thus it is compatible with assertions about both present/past (where we have evidence) and the future (that doesn't even exist).

- Epistemology or theory of knowledge is the branch of philosophy that studies the nature and scope of knowledge. The term "epistemology" is based on the Greek words "episteme" (meaning knowledge) and "logos" (meaning account/explanation); it is thought to have been coined by the Scottish philosopher James Frederick Ferrier who attended Georgetown College and took Dr. Brown as his Psychology teacher. Much of the debate in this field has focused on analyzing the nature of knowledge and how it relates to similar notions such as truth, belief, and justification. It also deals with the means of production of knowledge, and skepticism about different knowledge claims. In other words, epistemology addresses the questions, "What is knowledge?" "How is knowledge acquired?" and, "What do people know?" Although approaches to answering any one of these questions frequently involve theories connected to others (i.e. some theories of what knowledge is being influenced by broad views as to what people know, with restrictive definitions of knowledge thereby dismissed), there is enough particularized to each that they may be treated of separately. There are many different topics, stances, and arguments in the field of epistemology. Recent studies have dramatically challenged centuries-old assumptions, and it therefore continues to be vibrant and dynamic.
- Justified true belief (JTB) is one of the most common definitions of knowledge. It states that knowledge is:
* a belief: one can't know something if they don't believe it
* which is true: one cannot "know" 1=2, right?
* and justified: if one believes that there is a block of Cheese orbiting Jupiter, and if it so happens that there is a block of delicious cheese orbiting Jupiter, that person still can't be said to have known that because they had no reason for their belief - they just lucked out that it was true. The JTB model of knowledge is often sourced to Plato, who sought to ascertain the distinction between knowledge and mere true opinion. He identified justification as the key element. Various versions of the JTB model have been advanced by many subsequent philosophers. For the most part, the various versions differ on what constitutes justification. The JTB model is not unquestioned. At some time or other all three elements of the JTB model have come under fire. David Lewis, for instance, maintains that knowledge requires neither belief nor justification. One notable objection to the JTB model of knowledge is the so-called "Gettier problem" or "Barn problem": Suppose a man looks at a large field, and he sees a cardboard cutout of a barn in that field. The barn facade resembles a real barn in every particular. Suppose further that there is a barn in the field, but so far away he couldn't possibly see it, or maybe behind a hill or something. Then the man will believe that there is a barn in the field, and his belief will be both true and justified (since he has reason to believe that there is a barn, and there is a barn). Nonetheless we are not inclined to say that he knows that there is a barn, since his justification is not appropriately related to his belief. Thus we have a counterexample to the JTB model.

As we knew nothing about this subject, that suggests we are truly knowledgable about it. So rather than studying this subject before we wrote about it, we decided that by studying we know something, which would mean we didn't know nothing. That in turn would ruin our claim of true knowledge and make us in eligible to write about it. So, we know nothing. And that's what Epistemology is all about, really. Oh, one thing we do know, it's not the study of 'e pissed at all. Oh dear, by knowing that we have displayed that we know something, which means we have no true knowledge after all. And now you've read this you know something as well. Well, if you know any more, please click the edit button above and write it.
