I saw the term recently and tried to look it up, but every article/definition I found seemed to assume every person reading it has a degree in psychology or something. Please spare me the fancy technical terms and just explain it simply like I know absolutely nothing about philosophy, idealism, or psychology (because I don’t). Similes or examples would also be very appreciated, if possible.
**Note: Not sure why, but there wasn’t an option to list this post under a “Psychology” flair/tag even though there clearly seems to be one, as other posts are marked with it on this subreddit. That’s why it’s tagged “Other” instead.*

Epistemology is the study of the nature and scope of knowledge and justified belief. It analyzes the nature of knowledge and how it relates to similar notions such as truth, belief and justification. It also deals with the means of production of knowledge, as well as skepticism about different knowledge claims.
