The main issues and ideas of epistemology are; a) what is knowledge? b) what is the best and safest way to gain knowledge? c) what is the value of knowledge?

The nature of knowledge centers on the question "how" we know what we know, what makes us believe that something is "true". Epistemology is not just about acquiring knowledge but also about understanding the process of acquiring knowledge. Thus the real question is "with what should education begin?" and "with what knowledge should knowledge about education begin?".]]>
