it's the philosophical counterpart to the exploration of the question, how do we learn? how do our brains learn? the latter is a more modern, medical approach, but it can bleed over into traditional epistomology in fascinating ways. for example, Geschwind's syndrome, or some people with Temporal Lobe epilepsy, are better-wired for abstraction. many famous artists & writers come from this class

Below is a brief definition of epistemology. You can go to the following website for further info: http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/epistemology/ Epistemology First published Wed Dec 14, 2005 Defined narrowly, epistemology is the study of knowledge and justified belief. As the study of knowledge, epistemology is concerned with the following questions: What are the necessary and sufficient conditions of knowledge? What are its sources? What is its structure, and what are its limits? As the study of justified belief, epistemology aims to answer questions such as: How we are to understand the concept of justification? What makes justified beliefs justified? Is justification internal or external to one's own mind? Understood more broadly, epistemology is about issues having to do with the creation and dissemination of knowledge in particular areas of inquiry. This article will provide a systematic overview of the problems that the questions above raise and focus in some depth on issues relating to the structure and the limits of knowledge and justification
