*Epistemology* (from Greek <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_language> *
επιστήμη* - *episteme*, "knowledge" + *λόγος*,
"logos<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logos>")
or *theory of knowledge* is a branch of
philosophy<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy>concerned with the
nature and scope (limitations) of
knowledge <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knowledge>.[1]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epistemology#cite_note-0>The
term was introduced into English by the Scottish philosopher James
Frederick Ferrier
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Frederick_Ferrier>(1808-1864).
[2] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epistemology#cite_note-1>

Much of the debate in this field has focused on
analyzing<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophical_analysis>the
nature of knowledge and how it relates to similar notions such as
truth <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truth>,
belief<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belief>,
and justification <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_justification>. It
also deals with the means of production of knowledge, as well as skepticism
about different knowledge claims. In other words, epistemology primarily
addresses the following questions: "What is knowledge?," "How is knowledge
acquired?," "What do people know?," "How do we know what we know?."
