This topic is an inquiry into the nature, origin and possibility of true and certain knowledge. We begin with a discussion on the reasons for considering epistemology as a foundational treatise in philosophy, which is followed by an in-depth analysis of some important themes such as (1) the nature of knowledge, (2) conditions for knowledge, (3) theories of truth, (4) sources of knowledge, (5) epistemology and hermeneutics (6) knowledge and society and (7) religious knowledge.
