epistemological analysis

Epistemological analysis is the study of how we know what we know. It involves examining the nature, sources, and limits of knowledge—such as understanding what justifies beliefs and distinguishes fact from opinion. Essentially, it asks questions like: How reliable are our beliefs? Can we be certain of anything? This analysis helps clarify the foundations of knowledge, ensuring our beliefs are well-founded and understanding the processes through which we acquire understanding. It provides a critical framework for evaluating the validity and scope of human knowledge across various fields.
