A broad inquiry into the nature, sources, limits, and value of knowledge—overlapping with epistemology but emphasizing the philosophical dimensions. Philosophy of Knowledge asks: What is knowledge? How is it different from belief, opinion, or wisdom? What can we know? Are there different kinds of knowledge (propositional, procedural, experiential)? What's the relationship between knowledge and truth, knowledge and certainty, knowledge and power? Philosophy of Knowledge is the human attempt to understand understanding itself—the most reflexive of philosophical endeavors.
"You say you know it. Philosophy of Knowledge asks: know that or know how? Know from experience or from reason? Know with certainty or know with confidence? 'Know' is a rich word, and philosophy unpacks it. Without philosophy of knowledge, you're using the word without knowing what it means—which is ironic."
