Epistemology
Applies philosophical analysis to the nature, structure, and limits of knowledge. Diagnoses what kind of epistemic work is needed and routes to the right tool.
Epistemology is the meta-layer: not "is this claim true?" but "what kind of truth could this claim even have? What would justify believing it? How certain can we actually be?" It's most useful when you've hit a wall with ordinary investigation — when more evidence-gathering won't settle things, when you're not sure what kind of knowing is in play, or when you want honest calibration rather than confident-sounding output.
Which tool fits
| You need to... | Tool |
|---|---|
| Map what kind of knowing is in play | epistemology-knowledge-types |
| Work out what would actually justify believing something | epistemology-justification |
| Get honest calibration: what do I know vs. believe vs. assume vs. hope? | epistemology-epistemic-status |
| Find out what can't be known, and why — and what can be established | epistemology-limits |
