Epistemology
Knowing perceptions and concepts is impossible, because perceptions differ with different people, animal types, customs, ages, times, bodily conditions, space relations, object states, and air or water states. Concepts and opinions have just as many good reasons as their opposites. No truth criterion exists. Only custom and convention make opinions prevail. Even the idea of knowledge impossibility is only belief.
