Epistemology/Article

What exactly is knowledge? How is knowledge received? These questions and others like it are those asked in the branch of philosophy called epistemology. Epistemology is the branch if philosophy that deals with and focuses on the range and nature of knowledge. I believe that epistemology is one of the most important and prominent branches of philosophy. My reasoning behind the previous statement is as stated before epistemology deals with the nature and limits of knowledge. If the notion and nature of knowledge is grasped then a better appreciation and understanding of knowledge comes about. In the context of today's society knowledge is a very prominent and leading role in the function of the society that stands today, if the context of knowledge is grasped a huge part of the modern and advancing society is grasped. I want to close this post by providing a link to an article I found on Seed Magazine.com titled At the Edge of Perception by Greg Boustead. The article is about the work of an artist named Luke Jerram who challenges the brinks of both science and art. Link: http://seedmagazine.com/content/article/at_the_edge_of_perception/
