Normative Epistemology

Normative epistemology is a branch of philosophy that examines how we should justify our beliefs and knowledge claims. It focuses on the criteria and standards we use to determine whether our beliefs are reasonable, reliable, or warranted. This includes exploring concepts like rationality, evidence, and justification methods. Essentially, it seeks to answer questions about what makes beliefs justified or unjustified, guiding individuals toward sound reasoning and credible beliefs in both everyday life and scientific inquiry.
