🔑 Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Epistemology: A branch of philosophy that investigates the theories of knowledge, focusing on its nature and limits. It explores what constitutes valid knowledge and the boundaries of what can be known. The term originates from English, emphasizing the study of knowledge itself (source).

  • Theory of Knowledge: Theoretical study of knowledge, examining its qualities and the conditions that qualify beliefs as knowledge. It aims to clarify what knowledge is and how it can be distinguished from other forms of belief (source).

  • Justified True Belief (JTB): An influential concept in epistemology, defining knowledge as a belief that is both true and justified. It involves three elements: belief, truth, and justification (source).
