Gnosiology

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The term gnosiology (μελέτη της γνώσης) is derived from the Greek words gnosis ('knowledge', γνώση) and logos ('word' or 'discourse', λόγος). Linguistically, one might compare epistemology, which is derived from the Greek words episteme ('knowledge') and logos. As a philosophical concept, gnosiology broadly means the theory of knowledge, which in ancient Greek philosophy was perceived as a combination of sensory perception and intellect and then made into memory. When considered in the context of science, gnosiology takes on a different meaning: the study of knowledge, its origin, processes, and validity.
