Epistemology as traditionally understood refers to the theory or philosophy of knowledge. If we go by the original meaning of the Greek word teoria from which the English word 'theory' is derived, then in speaking of epistemology we are actually referring to nothing less than our total vision of the realm of knowledge. This is because in Greek teoria means vision.
