Epistemology is the human philosophy of knowledge. It examines the methods.
validity, and scope, of knowledge. Basically human beings know things through
their five senses, or a sixth sense. Zen Buddhism talks about in order to know
something you have to become one with that something. Our existence, in this
world and beyond, is based on experience, but what about existence beyond
experience?
Experience is an interpretation of existence which we further interpret in words,
feelings, and mental images.
