Epistemology is fundamentally concerned with the nature of knowledge, which is defined by the conditions under which a person knows a proposition to be true [1], [2]. Furthermore, epistemologists analyze propositions by examining their truth conditions [3], their compatibility with other states of affairs [4], and their role as the objects of subjective belief [5].
