Explanation
★Epistemology deals with the theories of knowledge, so knowledge is the answer.
★Epistemology is the branch of philosophy that studies the nature, sources and validity of knowledge and how it is gained.
★It asks what we can know and how we know it, which places knowledge at its centre.
★Reality and existence are the concern of metaphysics, which studies the ultimate nature of what is.
