On Epistemology
Epistemology is the philosophical doctrine dealing with knowing. It is one of the two major branches of metaphysics, the other concerning the questions of being. Knowledge has oft been debated throughout the history of philosophy. What is it to know, exactly? Some say that knowledge must be entirely gained from experience. I only know that knowledge is something to be had, and only aids in the temporal. Epistemology is entirely a secondary joke. It loses its point after any considerration of meaning in the greater sense. It goes back to what Kierkegaard says - rationalistic ideas can never aid faith in a God, only hinder it. Knowledge is important, but it will never come close to the spiritual in importance.
