- Have you ever wondered how we know what we know? That is a question epistemology aims to answer. Epistemology is the branch of philosophy that explores the nature, sources, and limits of knowledge. But it also a little bit more than just the study of knowledge itself. Epistemology involves some core elements that can be further explained. Here are those core elements.
📚epistemology explained:
00:00 intro
00:45 definitions, scope, categorization, and theories of meaning
04:36 rationalism, empiricism, a priori and a posteriori knowledge
10:56 theories of justification and the limits of knowledge
18:36 outro

So many Oxford Handbooks worth reading. Right now, I am going through the Philosophy of Time.
@@phillaysheo8 is it any good? I have seen it before but was worried it would be overly esoteric 😅😅
@@IdeasInHatEsoteric? No lol. A good part that works it could be explained for physicists. How it's the case on the branch of philosophy of physics.
Interesting video or, best it saying, good recommendations. Keep it up to that philosophy and history videos in overall.
I think this is a pretty good introduction to something like epistemology, and the books you recommended are good. Though, like learning languages (Latin in my case), there is the kind of natural method in learning philosophy and extensively its domains like epistemology. Which, I find pretty productive and not to say intuitive on one's involvement with primary sources. We acquire understanding on the get go with this approach, a sorta sink or swim. And theories on knowledge would seem rather suitable to this, lol. A living justification for our own comprehension.
Enjoyed the video!
I have to say thanks for all the new books your providing me with.
@@blackairforceenergy2127 thanks for watching!
@@IdeasInHat how many books have u read in total?
@@blackairforceenergy2127 in my lifetime idk, maybe 800. In the last 7 years, 347 or something around there
@@IdeasInHat also u have a very big book shelf. I was wondering where u got it from?
@@blackairforceenergy2127 it was made custom. Wouldn't recommend. Nice shelf but hard to dust, I have to also climb a sketchy ladder lol.
I don't know. How do I find out?
Why didn’t you say hello?
@@smithyman33 lol. I will say hello 2x in my next video 😅😅😅.
I hate the "brain in a vat" discussion! It can't be proved that you're not a brain in a vat, but it doesn't matter anyway because it's the closest form of reality that we could ever experience if we were brains in vats. I guess the takeaway would be that the reality we currently percieve is only part of the world and that our "truths" are based mostly on incomplete information (and thus many of our "truths" are actually falsehoods)? I guess it makes a good intro philosophy question to introduce a solipsism with a bit of intellectual humility, but it seems like a discussion that never really makes any progress.
@@weezerdog3 I think it is so popular because the intuitive worldview that most people have is direct realism. But I get where you are coming from.
Love your videos!!! But I noticing a lack of “hellos!” every time you start your videos! :-)
@@dkeeks lol. TRUE!
