Knowledge. In Plato knowledge (epistēmē) is contrasted with opinion (doxa). The highest form of knowledge is wisdom (sophia). Aristotle regarded knowledge of the first principles as the highest form of knowledge. In the history of European philosophy, two schools are distinguished: (1) the Continental Rationalists (e.g., Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz) who recognized in one way or another that the mind has innate ideas that provide the basis for knowledge, and (2) the British Empiricists (e.g., Locke, Berkeley, Hume) who see all knowledge as rooted in the senses. The distinction between knowledge and belief is of great importance in philosophical theology.
