Is Ethics is the same as epistemology?
No, Ethical choices come after Epistemological decisions. Ethical choices assume answers to what choice could be justified. Ethical choices also consider consequences. For example: Deontology is a theory that says that a decision can only be justified if it matches with an ethical guideline. While Utilitarianism is a theory that always aims for the greatest good for the greatest amount of people. These questions each ask an Ethical question and make different epistemological assumptions about what we can really know. In a nutshell Epistemology is the realm of study where we question what we know, how we know it, where it comes from; and criticize it further from there. Ethics is about justification of behaviours of human beings.
