Abstract
Knowledge is usually studied in either of four ways: philosophically, psychologically, sociologically, or historically. The philosophical study of knowledge, i.e. epistemology, focuses most of the time on the outcome of inquiry with neglect or even ignorance of that which does the knowing, namely the nervous system of an animal embedded in a society with a definite history.
