Democratising Epistemology

Epistemology is the key. The prevailing epistemology anytime is an outcome of the play of multiple factors, ideas, and designs of organisations. It shapes people's imagination and in turn fashions people's lives. For the substantialization of democracy, the democratization of epistemology is a critical urgency. Education institutions must equip learners with the skills for identifying the sources, purposes, functioning, effects, and aftereffects of the prevailing pieces of knowledge and their working. They must be made to rise above being the passive subjects of knowledge.
