Usage notes
Philosophers differentiate the meanings of epistemic and epistemological, where, broadly, epistemic means "relating to knowledge (itself)" and epistemological means "relating to the study or theory of various aspects of knowledge". Nonetheless, in general usage the terms epistemic crisis, epistemologic crisis, and epistemological crisis are synonymous, referring to a crisis of community members with an impaired level of shared perceptions of reality (an excessive level of disagreement on what is real or fake, that is, existing or illusory).
