Relating to knowledge, how we know things, or the study of what counts as true and valid information.
From Greek 'episteme' (knowledge), forming the adjective used in modern philosophy and epistemology to discuss knowledge-related questions.
When someone says 'that's epistemic,' they mean it's about knowledge itself—like asking 'how do you know that?' rather than 'is it true?'—it's philosophy's favorite question.
