Abstract

Epistemology as a branch of philosophy determines character, knowledge and even determines which truths are considered worthy of acceptance, and which ones should be rejected. Therefore, several questions are usually asked to examine issues in epistemology, namely what is
knowledge, what are the sources and basis of knowledge? Is this knowledge a definite truth or is
it just conjecture? To answer all the knowledge about epistemology, this article will examine more
deeply about the theory of knowledge and truth in epistemology. The method used in writing this
article is a literature study. After presenting several explanations from various literary sources so that it can be said that it is almost impossible to talk about "knowledge" without considering things about "truth". To know knowledge from right thinking processes, in the sense of being in
accordance with the search for knowledge, one must use right thinking in thinking. Truth that is
not true or false, or its truth based on conjecture cannot be considered as knowledge that is
judged to be true. Another condition for knowledge is truth, so we cannot claim to have knowledge of something that is not true
