Epistemics is a term coined in 1969 by Edinburgh University with the foundation of its School of Epistemics. It is to be distinguished from Epistemology in that this is the philosophical theory of knowledge, whereas epistemics signifies the scientific study of knowledge. Epistemics is also compared to Cognitive Science.
Christopher Longuet-Higgins has defined it as "the construction of formal models of the processes - perceptual, intellectual, and linguistic - by which knowledge and understanding are achieved and communicated".
Epistemics may be understood as the science that deals with the noetic mechanics involved in the attainment of knowledge.
Epistemics of Divine Reality
Epistemics refers to the noetic mechanics involved in coming to some knowledge. While epistemology refers to the study of knowledge, epistemics goes beyond this to combine psychological and philosophical studies in human knowledge to understand the why and how of epistemic (or knowledge-related) conclusions. Epistemics of Divine Reality refers to the noetic-mechanics involved in coming to a belief in God. Why do people believe what they believe about God? Are the means employed to knowledge valid or invalid? Such are questions that must be seriously asked.
