Epistemology studies the problems of the essence of knowledgedefining its capabilities, as well as how knowledge and relate to reality.Epistemology identifies the conditions under which the knowledge is authentic and true.The theory of knowledge is the basis of epistemology.The objectives of this science are enclosed in the analysis of the general bases that make it possible to regard the result as a knowledge of knowledge, which expresses the true, the real state of things.
epistemology as developed in the sphere of philosophical knowledge even before the formation of modern science.Theoretical and cognitive interpretation of epistemology begins with the moment when theoretical constructs receive treatment from the perspective of their conformity with the truth, the reality, that is,their status can be attributed to the existence of certain abstract objects.Epistemology is based on the empirical evidence that supports the theory in terms of their feasibility, defining and analyzing them significant and problematic knowledge.
The process of cognition is one of the basic human needs.
As part of the philosophy of epistemology originated in antiquity.The condition of its origin was the transition, change the look of cognition.He did not consider as a natural process, which is in the nature of man, and moved on to the desire to control cognitive activity.There are certain stages of development of epistemology caused spreading the knowledge of the factors studied.

2. At this point, the methodology becomes a major epistemological discipline.Epistemology studies the practical and sensual experience, communication of feelings and intelligence, technology and experimental pilot study.
3. At this stage, given the diversity of the bases and methods of knowledge based new school epistemological theory of tacit knowledge, hermeneutics, phenomenology, semiotics, scientism.
Learning occurs in two forms, considered as parties cognitive activities: the rational and sensual.
perceptual knowledge due to the receipt of information through the senses and the nervous system.Knowledge in reality is stored and processed in the form of visual images.
Rational knowledge is based on the abstract, logical thinking.Comprehension of reality carried out by means of generalized symbolic symbolic means.
cognitive human activity is largely based on the ability to rational knowledge.While the sensuous human knowledge relatively similar to the knowledge of the higher animals.Such operations as an association, discrimination, comparison of data for the same rational and perceptual knowledge.
main forms of sensory perception is perception, sensation and performance.
main form of rational cognition is a judgment, concept, inference.
