Epistemology (/ɪˌpɪstɪˈmɒlədʒi/ (About this soundlisten); from Greek, Modern ἐ????ή??, epistēmē, meaning 'knowledge', and ?ό???, logos, meaning 'logical discourse') is the branch of philosophy concerned with the theory of knowledge.[1]

Epistemology is the study of the nature of knowledge, justification, and the rationality of belief. Much debate in epistemology centers on four areas: (1) the philosophical analysis of the nature of knowledge and how it relates to such concepts as truth, belief, and justification,[2][3] (2) various problems of skepticism, (3) the sources and scope of knowledge and justified belief, and (4) the criteria for knowledge and justification. Epistemology addresses such questions as: "What makes justified beliefs justified?",[4] "What does it mean to say that we know something?",[5] and fundamentally "How do we know that we know?"[6]

In college, it was "am I really here." Now it's "is he really the president?"
