fallacy of composition and epistemology

The fallacy of composition is a logical error that occurs when one assumes that what is true for part of something must also be true for the whole. It mistakenly concludes that if something is true for the individual elements or parts, it must also be true for the entire group or system. Epistemology, on the other hand, is the branch of philosophy that studies the nature of knowledge and how we come to know things. It examines questions such as how knowledge is acquired, what can be known with certainty, and how different forms of knowledge are justified or validated.
