Epistemology, or finding out how you can know that you know Epistemology is the branch of philosophy that deals with how one can justify knowledge. It aims to provide an answer to the questions: How can I know that I know? and How can I know that it is true? Footer (Default Page Style) +/nSome other epistemological questions help us think through ways to verify our claims, ideas, beliefs, etc. Some of them include: • Can it (here,"it" stands in for the claim you are making or the question you are dealing with) be verified? If so, how? Is it intuitive? And if so, what evidence do you have for it? How can you get to the ground of it? • • Is it based on experience? And if so, can experience be trusted and why? Is it accepted universally, or at least by most people? Is it based on emotion, faith, or something else that is not a matter of induction or deduction? If so, how can these sources be known to be reliable? How can beliefs be known to be true? Is it based on science or other inductive evidence? How can one evaluate scientific evidence? On what/whose authority can it be justified? Is the authority reliable? • How was the knowledge about it acquired? Is it necessarily true? That is, is there a prerequisite that makes it true? • • Is it sufficient? That is, is there something that guarantees the truth of it? How can one evaluate it? g Go back to your outline and add any of the questions above to your outline where they apply. h. Add additional questions to your outline that can help you look at the truth of the matter you are addressing. N.B, your questions should discuss knowledge, belief, justification, evidence, etc. So you should try to include verbs that aim to uncover that. You can use the questions above as models For example, • How can I know X is true? • On what do/can I base my belief in X? What evidence and reasoning support my belief in X? Make sure your questions are specific. Make sure your questions are clear. Make sure your questions relate to your fundamental human concern and move to an explanation of why it is important to ask. 4. Revisiting the readings and the themes in them i.
