Epistemology-How do we know what we think we know?



Epistemology is another core concept of philosophy which seeks to explain the authorities in which we place our trust while seeking truth. There are many different ways to validate knowledge—God, science, God as science, experience, sensory perceptions, feeling, the self, etc.

If it was a dark force within her, where did it come from?
