This article is devoted to the philosophical study of the conditions under which knowledge can become a component or tool of education. The presentation of the contribution of epistemology to human development and education is based on addressing issues such as the nature of knowledge, sources of knowledge, theories, and criteria of truth. We proceed from the idea that knowledge is a condition of education. Particular attention is paid to the issue of distinguishing between such types of knowledge as 'knowing how' and 'knowing that'. Educational practices open a common foundation that unites the life world of people, types of sociality, and hermeneutical practices. The epistemological approach to the question of the essence of knowledge assumes that knowledge meets three requirements, namely, knowledge must be objective, subjective, and evidentiary. Epistemology includes subjectivity as the basis of human existence in the natural world and the world with others. Intersubjectivity is considered a criterion for the reliability of knowledge about the world, which allows asserting the relationship of the objective with the subjective.

American Exceptionalism and the idea of America being a utopia, has caused many people to immigrate to the United States, but why? The U.S. is no more exceptional than any other democratic country. To get this answer, this article examines the philosophical utopias by both Plato and Aristotle and a contradiction to Aristotle's utopia. It is also important to examine the form of government the founders chose and why other countries thought the United States would fail. It is also important to analyze the relationship of the United States government with its people, and how that relationship helps laws get ratified for the public's benefit. Exploring the history of people coming to America and the changes in the country that made more people want to come to the United States is also helpful in understanding the system. Though we know that the U.S. is not perfect, we also know that there must be strong relationships between the government and the people to ensure propergovernance. It is because of these existing factors that people see America as a utopia.
