"Ontology without epistemology is truly superfluous. it is essential for the purpose of learning to look deeper into what is presented. In order to transcend rote memorization and really know something, it is imperative to think. Embracing the opinions of others can be problematic without verification. To know what something is without knowing why it is that way is pointless." Epistemology: Poetic expressions of epistemological thought, is a collection of poetry created to generate mental stimuli. Dissected into four categories each section is viewed through a different lens with the same purpose. Each section draws from the poem "Epistemology" which is the poem that started this collection.
