Epistemological Theory

Epistemological theory is the study of knowledge—how we know what we know. In the context of perception, it examines how our senses (like sight and hearing) shape our understanding of the world. It questions whether our perceptions accurately reflect reality or if they are influenced by our beliefs, experiences, and emotions. Essentially, it explores the relationship between our experiences, our interpretations of those experiences, and the truth of the world around us, helping us understand the limits and reliability of our knowledge.
