The gnoseology is the part of the philosophythat deals exclusively with the human knowledge in general. That is to say, gnoseology does not have the knowledge of particular or specific issues such as astronomy wave geography Rather, its focus is on the generality of knowledge, where it comes from and how it impacts people's lives.
Its name comes from the Greek words gnosis and logos that mean knowledge and the faculty of knowing, respectively, and takes us back to the Ancient Greece, an emblematic geographical place at this point in all inherent to philosophy and questions of knowledge. Because from the beginning the problems intrinsic to knowledge were a concern and an occupation of the Greek philosophy, and of course, of the great Greek philosophers who stood out in those years, such is the case of Plato, from Aristotle, to name some of the most popular, but without exceptions we must mention that all philosophers have dealt with knowledge or gnoseology.
Philosophy basically focused from the most remote times on studying, addressing, elucidating various types of problems and issues that make the life of human beings, the existence, the reason, the
communication and obviously knowledge. And then in that inquire constant above all, knowledge, has occupied a very stellar place since those initiation years of science. And when philosophy was systematized, it handed over the parental authority of this issue to gnoseology. And so it is that he dedicates himself exclusively to reflecting on the origin and essence of the act of know.Most like to say that gnoseology is the theory general knowledge and that as such is basically intended to reflect the correspondence between the subject who knows and the object that is the object of that act of knowing. Since the object to be known is external to the person's reason, the mind of that individual will take care of forming a concept about him.
