“Epistemic” relates to knowledge, understanding, or the justification of beliefs. It comes from the Greek word epistēmē, meaning “knowledge” or “science.”
For example:
• Epistemic uncertainty refers to uncertainty due to a lack of knowledge.
• Epistemic justification concerns whether a belief is supported by evidence or reasoning.
• Epistemic logic studies reasoning about knowledge and belief.
It is often used in philosophy, cognitive science, and epistemology (the study of knowledge).
