What is Epistemology the study of?

Player #272443, Reply from Prof Paco: Two main schools of Epistemology are: Rationalism which says that all knowledge starts. in the mind and Empericism which claims that all knowledge comes to the mind. through the senses. Famous Rationalists were Rene Descartes, Baruch Spinoza and Gottfried Leibniz. Famous Empericists were John Locke, George Berkley, and David Hume. Just so you know-Sheldon Cooper from the Big Bang Theory hated Gottfried Leibniz because he would feud with Isaac Newton over who discovered Calculus first. Sheldon supported Newton.

something that people using Tweets & Tictoc should think about ...

ChampionNymph37634, isn't that just an opinion though? different environments and experiences could result in different beliefs. How do we justify it?

Fun guy, Or any social media for that matter

Player en_846, in some cases you could justify through using facts. It depends what you are trying to justify.

I missed the question - just never heard this particular word, "epistemology" before. As for "knowledge" itself, I believe it's simply a matter of environment + experience = knowledge - no more complicated than that.
