Epistemology in Philosophy Simply Explained (Past to Present Day Theory)

What is Epistemology in Philosophy?

Today, we live in a world where we can access more information than ever before. But, how do you know what is true and what’s not? How do you know that you even know something? For that matter, what even is knowledge? These are questions concerning Epistemology, the branch of philosophy concerned with knowledge that forms the very foundation of human understanding.

Epistemology is the study of the nature, origin, and scope of knowledge and epistemic justification. In this video, I’ll do my best to clearly and easily introduce the subject and cover significant developments and concepts from past to present-day theory. Make sure to pay attention because after all, without understanding knowledge and what is it, how can you coherently argue for and know for sure what it is you believe is true?
