Gnosiology (from the Greek γνώσης or gnõsis, "knowledge") is the study of intuitive and or spiritual knowledge it is this knowledge in contrast to scientific and or empirical knowledge. Scientific and or empirical knowledge (in Greek, επιστήμη or epistẽmẽ) is knowledge of nature, the natural or material world. Epistemological knowledge as such is knowledge based on the finite attributes of human existence. Gnosis is knowledge of the divine, spiritual and also of the uncreated.
