sciences, by exploring the principles of how they may arrive at knowledge.

The word epistemology comes from the ancient Greek terms ??????u? (, meaning knowledge or understanding) and ????? (, meaning study of or reason), literally, the study of knowledge. Despite its ancient roots, the word itself was coined only in the 19th century to designate this field as a distinct branch of philosophy.
