 One distinction within epistemology—very broadly construed—which offers a solution to this question is to distinguish between two distinct but complementary “sides” to epistemology: the side that concerns our evaluation of our constitutive attempts to gain knowledge (viz., our beliefs and our judgments about whether something is so), and the side that concerns our evaluation of which inquiries to take up, and how to sustain them given our limited resources, interests, and concerns. Ernest Sosa (2021: Ch. 2; see also 2015: Ch. 2) refers to these two sides of epistemology, broadly construed, as gnoseology and intellectual ethics, respectively.
