Epistemology...

It comes from the Greek episteme (knowledge). The epistemology is also known as gnoseology (from Latin gnosis) or as knowledge theory.

It is a branch of philosophy that studies everything that is related to knowledge. It focuses on analyzing the nature of knowledge and how it relates to connected notions such as truth, belief, and justification.

Its purpose is to achieve knowledge and discover reality so humans can achieve enlightenment.
