In this fifth episode, we start examining epistemology, the branch of philosophy that studies the nature of knowledge and truth, how we gain knowledge, how our beliefs are justified as knowledge, as well as the limits of knowledge.

In this fourth episode of the introductory series, I continue examining the development of humanist thought, taking an overview of posthumanist perspectives, including critical, ethical, and ecological posthumanisms, transhumanism, and metahumanism.
