Comparative politics is a subfield of political science that focuses on comparing political systems, institutions, processes, and behaviors across different countries or regions. It seeks to identify patterns, similarities, and differences in how governments operate, how policies are made, and how political actors interact.

The "philosophy of knowledge," also known as "epistemology," is a branch of philosophy that examines the nature, origin, and limits of human knowledge, investigating what constitutes "knowing" something, how we acquire knowledge, and the reliability of different sources of information like perception, reason, and testimony; essentially, it asks fundamental questions about what it means to truly "know" something.

Instead, he regarded it as a case of a true belief that, despite being true, does not qualify as knowledge because it lacks the appropriate justification.
