Aristotle does not use 'episteme' to name empirical knowledge, as the page says; for Aristotle episteme is knowledge of what cannot be otherwise (Nicomachean Ethics 1139b), of what is always or (at the very least) for the most part true (Metaphysics 1027a). It is therefore not empirical; it is not based on observation or experience or changing things but in fact explicitly opposed to such knowledge. Rather episteme, for Aristotle, is timeless knowledge that can be demonstrated from first principles, i.e., it is deductive.

Forgot Gnosis[edit]

Knowledge not by thinking about it, but by doing it; running an inductive exercise (science experiments -induce- a result). Technically, techne` is the method, gnosis is the result of teche`. 108.38.36.17 (talk) 02:25, 11 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Is this a synonym for Epistemic virtue?[edit]

Is intellectual virtue a synonym for Epistemic virtue? If so, these articles should be merged, If not, then the distinction should be explained in the article. Thanks! --Lbeaumont (talk) 12:30, 23 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
