== Isn't epistemology part of metaphysics? ==

This article claims that
<blockquote>
"...Russell concentrates on knowledge rather than metaphysics."
</blockquote>
I just read this book and found it to be all about epistemology, that is, the philosophy of knowledge. But epistemology, I believe, is generally regarded a branch of metaphysics.
So to me, this seems to be logically equivalent to "In his book on relativity, Einstein concentrates on time and space, rather than physics."

Isn't epistemology part of metaphysics?

This article claims that

"...Russell concentrates on knowledge rather than metaphysics."

I just read this book and found it to be all about epistemology, that is, the philosophy of knowledge. But epistemology, I believe, is generally regarded a branch of metaphysics. So to me, this seems to be logically equivalent to "In his book on relativity, Einstein concentrates on time and space, rather than physics."
