The core meaning of the Greek word episteme is knowledge. Thus, taken literally, epistemic logic represents the logic of knowledge. In modern philosophy, however, epistemic logic is used as a technical term not only for the logic of knowledge but also for the logic of belief, (although the latter might more appropriately be referred to as doxastic logic from the Greek doxa to mean belief).
