From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Epistemology (from Greek ἐπιστήμη - episteme-, "knowledge, science" + λόγος, "logos") or theory of knowledge is the branch of philosophy concerned with the nature and scope (limitations) of knowledge. It addresses the questions:
Much of the debate in this field has focused on analyzing the nature of knowledge and how it relates to similar notions such as truth, belief, and justification. It also deals with the means of production of knowledge, as well as skepticism about different knowledge claims. The term was introduced into English by the Scottish philosopher James Frederick Ferrier (1808–1864). KnowledgeFrom Wikipedia under the

Necessity is shorthand for truth in every possible world; possibility, true in at least one possible world (or it's not necessarily false in every world). A logical necessity is a tautology, like the law of non-contradiction. In every world where logic holds, certain propositions will never be false. [Because there are, arguably, possible worlds where logic does not hold.] A logical possibility is just a contingent proposition like "Pa": Alfred is on the phone.

Some systems which provide order resist being categorized with God-derived (theological perspectivalism), with authoritarian -- either theocratic (religious) or Fascist (political) or with other perspectives. These same systems paradoxically and simultaneously resist being categorized with those that reject these new or dated, doubted or continuing or refuted theories of truth.
