noun

Etymology: From criterion + -ology.

  1. The study of the validity of reasoning and the criteria necessary to achieve knowledge.

    But it seems otherwise with reasoning as viewed by criteriology.

    According to Mercier, criteriology should demonstrate the fallacy of two forms of scepticism: one that casts doubts on each of the acts of the human reason and one that casts doubts on the very possibility of arriving at a knowledge of the truth.
