Abstract

Knowledge refers to everything on entity. Knowledge is the expression of human's connection with object by the way of thinking. Epistemology is made up of an attempt of identifying the relationship between object and subject. The history of thought could be named as history of presenting the relationship between subject and object. Undoubtedly, there has been thought since the existence of first person. However, thinking on knowledge systematically had occured after a long time. The concept of history is a matter of several disciplines. As there is the history of war, history of science, there is history of epistemology as well.
