Epistemology
Epistemology is a branch of philosophy concerned with the nature of knowledge, how one obtains it, and what constitutes truth. More generally epistemology can be seen as the study of how we know. Epistemology has also been defined as the examination of the obstacles to knowledge, with its goal being to "remove sources of error, rather than to define the nature of truth".[1] With respect to epistemology Ludwig von Mises stated:
In establishing epistemology as a theory of knowledge, the philosopher implicitly assumes or asserts that there is in the intellectual effort of man something that remains unchanged, viz., the logical structure of the human mind.
