Logic and Epistemology
Logic is the study of proper reasoning, helping us evaluate whether arguments are valid and conclusions follow from premises. It provides tools to analyze and construct clear, consistent thinking. Epistemology is the branch of philosophy that examines knowledge—what it is, how we acquire it, and how we justify beliefs. It questions the nature and limits of human understanding, addressing issues like truth, certainty, and belief. Together, these fields help us think critically, distinguish valid from faulty reasoning, and understand the basis for what we claim to know.
