Abstract
The science of epistemology, due to the goal it pursues, is of great importance, because no science is needles of it. This is due to the fact that the validity of propositions in other sciences is dependent on the value of knowing and criterion of verity, which is the most important issue in epistemology. In this article, we have stated all dimensions of this science – including its background, subject, method, problem, definition and ultimate goal – and to introduce it more, we have compared it to other related sciences such as logics, philosophy, psychology of perception, ontology of philosophy, and philosophy of science to conclude that despite similarities between those sciences and epistemology, there is no overlap between them. Besides, it was clarified that the criterion for verity of the propositions, which is the most important fruit of this science, is direct or indirect reference of what is known to the intuitive knowledge.
