| Jan 9 at 6:35 | comment | added | Double Knot | One is onto while the other is epi+stem which are obviously different such as the case where the sound of an engine is always epi from and never onto the engine. Onto is to deduct and infer with certainty and necessity while epi is full of varieties and variations of clouds which could be possibly as heavy as mountains or as light as feathers... | |

| Mar 13, 2015 at 18:47 | comment | added | possibleWorld | @David: I don't think it's an epistemological fact that koalas are necessarily animals. This seems similar to what's going on when we say that water is necessarily H2O: it's metaphysically necessary that water is H2O, but not epistemologically necessary, since we can imagine scenarios where water isn't H2O. | |

| Aug 2, 2013 at 19:25 | comment | added | Mozibur Ullah | The important thing is not just answering but also justifying your answer, that process should help you firm up the differences between epistemology & ontology. They're complex terms, and sometimes intrude on each others territory. | |
| Aug 2, 2013 at 12:30 | comment | added | Trylks | I'm not sure epistemological and ontological claims are disjoint. We can speak about the universe and about knowledge, but we can also speak about the knowledge or models that we have about the universe and about observers and their beliefs in the universe. | |

| Aug 2, 2013 at 6:23 | comment | added | David H | Or on second thought, I might be leading you astray! As a scientist I want call it epistemology, but a philosopher could very well call it ontology. Hmm... | |
