And if possible, please elaborate on epistemology. I'm having trouble getting it.

or that reduces, or, if you prefer another verb, " translates" the Q's in metaphysics into the Q's of epistemology? This Q was triggered by the one and only A to a Q I asked about the concept of energy which is still open for A's(Answers). I wish more people would venture a reasoned opinion based on the knowledge they have of science and philosophy. Contrary to those who think opinions can't compete with the facts, it is opinions that tie the facts together and is the first step to a theory(which is not a synonym for opinion).

No dictionary definitions please, i could do with some concrete examples of how they are related and why epistemology is often accused of ignoring ontology. Thankyou, not easy i know

I need to come up with some examples of epistemology that are still significant or are happening now, or up to 10 years in the past. BTW, epistemology: the process of gaining knowledge or of what knowledge is and it's qualities.

what major contributions did plato and descartes contribute to Rationalism? what major contributions did aristotle and john locke contribute to Empiricism?
