Epistemological

Epistemological is a big word that means 'about knowledge'. It is a type of philosophy that asks questions about what we know and how we know it. For example, epistemology asks questions like 'What is knowledge?', 'How do we get our knowledge?' and 'What makes certain knowledges more reliable than others?'. These questions let us think about how we can be sure that the things we know are really true.
