A lesson in the nature of knowledge. (A lesson in what a lesson is, perhaps?)

A lesson in the study or theory of knowledge and the validity of knowledge. :)

Lots of Love,

Edit: I didn't mean to take what dylman said, I guess I was working on my post when he was submitting his. /edit

Wrong sentence (you really think that I A) don't own a dictionary, or B) don't know what epistemology means in the first place?).

A question asking the viewer to define the question...

[edit] Second thoughts, "This Sentence" means the word structure containing the question.

Well I thought that you were asking that question as sort of a test, and then if people failed, you would appreciate the irony. Since I didn't answer the proper question, I will continue to ponder.

Lots of Love,

'rm - I'm reading "House of Leaves" and it seems this thread and the solipsist thread are coming from lines in that book - good guess or way off base?

Way off base, but I see how you could think that :-)
