In this module, we’ll be exploring the second branch of Philosophy: Epistemology and its fundamental questions including “How do we know what we know?” Epistemology examines the nature, sources, and limits of knowledge, and so is an important topic to consider.
In this module, we’ll go back in time to meet some famous philosophers who contributed to the field of Epistemology. First, we’ll encounter René Descartes on his search for certainty. Moving on, we’ll meet John Locke and see his “blank slate”. Finally, we’ll meet David Hume and explore his “Problem of Induction”.
By the end of this module, you’ll have met some of the thinkers that challenged previous views of what knowledge is. Let’s get started!
