The analysis examines the relevance and urgency of cultivating critical thinking skills through an epistemological approach for modern society. It uses descriptive qualitative research with comprehensive literature review across official documents, books, websites, government policies, and scholarly articles. Findings indicate critical thinking grounded in epistemic principles is imperative and essential for everyone, not only academics.","An Analysis of Epistemology Implementation through Critical Thinking in the Modern Era  \nAndi Sinjaya  \nFaculty of Education Management, Jakarta State University, Indonesia  \nABSTRACT: Critical thinking is a major discourse that often goes unnoticed, especially when society faces a contemporary phenomenon that insists on immediate understanding and absolute truth. The study analysis discusses the relevance and urgency of implementing critical thinking skills based on the epistemological approach necessary for all modern society. Diverse challenges and possibilities in the modern era require the skills of critical thinking. The aim is to prepare society to face these diverse challenges and approach new possibilities made in everyday life in the modern era. A descriptive qualitative approach, involving a comprehensive literature review of official documents, reference books, websites, government policies, and scholarly articles related to the research topic, was used in this study. From the results of the study on the topic above, it can be concluded that the cultivation of critical thinking, grounded in epistemological principles, is imperative. Critical thinking and epistemic cognition are no longer exclusive to Academics, but hostically become fundamental needs for everyone in modern society.  \nKEYWORDS: Epistemology, Critical Thinking, People, Education, Modernity  \nINTRODUCTION  \nKnowledge can simply be recognized as the comprehension of the human world, including both theoretical and practical understanding. Human knowledge about the next world is not merely related to existential meaning; however, through knowledge, humans can elevate themselves to higher levels of civilization. Richard Pieters in his book entitled Ethics and Education (1966) argued that knowledge is the foundation of art or skills that can change a person's life (Winch & Gingell, 1999) . This means that through knowledge humans, at the same time, can overcome their weaknesses and can find a way out of every problem faced by humans, such as adversity.  \nArtificial intelligence has been widely used to ease human’s work. However, aside from that, human dependence on AI may actually weaken humans' ability to think critically and find solutions (Vargas-Murillo et al., 2023) . The concern about AI dependency arises when AI services such as chat gpt provides answer findings in a relatively short time span. The convenience offered and provided by AI mainly leads to user comfort.  \nThe search for knowledge through critical thinking requires epistemic cognition. Epistemic cognition presupposes not only how someone finds and uses knowledge but it also provides validation theories and claims can be categorized as either mere beliefs lacking logical support or as knowledge that has been rigorously established. The difference between knowledge and belief lies in the demand for the validity of truth in knowledge, whereas belief does not require the validity of its claims (Bernecker & Pritchard, 2011) . Epistemic cognition is a cognitive process that enables individuals to differentiate between well-founded knowledge and mere belief or doubt (Greene & Yu, 2015) . In other words, when someone acknowledges something, it presumes that the belief is true.  \nResearch conducted by Jeffrey A. Greene and Seung B. Yu entitled \"Educating Critical Thinkers: The Role of Epistemic Cognition\" (2016) shows that epistemic cognition influences academic outcomes, including critical thinking skills and argumentation in the 21st century. Heidi Hyytinen, Katariina Holma, Auli Toom, Richard J. Shavelson and Sari Lindblom-Ylänne published the results of research entitled \"The Complex Relationship Between Students' Critical Thinking and Epistemological Beliefs in the Context of Problem Solving” (2014) . This research explores the relationship between critical thinking and epistemological beliefs in specific problem-solving situations.
