Epistemology examines knowledge, the rationality of belief, and justification. It is the branch of philosophy that is concerned with the theory of knowledge. The big altercation that is happening around epistemology centers in four ranges: the nature of knowledge and how it goes with truth, belief, and justification, multiple problems of skepticism, the sources of belief and knowledge, and the foundation of knowledge and justification. Scottish philosopher James Frederick Ferrier was the first person to use the term “epistemology” in 1854. Many philosophers think there is a critical difference between “knowing how” “knowing that” and “knowing who.” Epistemology is mostly exercised with “knowing how.” These contrasts may not be described in English, but they are in other languages. Belief is an expression of faith in someone or something. That includes everything that we may find as the “truth.” Justification is knowledge, but with an account. So basically when something is justified that means you and other people can trust and believe it without having to feel hesitant on whether its legit or not. An example would be let’s say a person dislocated their shoulder and this person is very optimistic on life so he/she believes they’re going to get better soon. Even if this person does get better one can’t really believe it until it is further justified by a professional, a
