Applied epistemology is a subfield of epistemology, which is the philosophical study of knowledge—its nature, sources, limits, and validity. While traditional epistemology often focuses on theoretical questions about what knowledge is and how it is acquired, applied epistemology takes these concepts and applies them to practical situations and real-world contexts. In applied epistemology, philosophers and researchers investigate how epistemological theories can inform practices in various domains, such as education, science, law, ethics, and technology.
