To what degree is sense perception reliable?

Epistemology is the study of knowing.  It deals with the nature of knowledge, how do we know things, what do we know, (from experience and learning about a certain things) why we know, is what we know true, and what are the limits of knowledge.

What is Genetic Epistemology?

GENETIC EPISTEMOLOGY attempts to explain knowledge, and in particular scientific knowledge, on the basis of its history, its sociogenesis, and especially the psychological origins of the notions and operations upon which it is based. These notions and operations are drawn in large part from common sense, so that their origins can shed light on their significance as knowledge of a somewhat higher level. But genetic epistemology also takes into account, wherever possible, formalisation - in particular, logical formalisations applied to equilibrated thought structures and in certain cases to transformations from one level to another in the development of thought, as stated by Jean Piaget (1968)
