The Epistemological Axiom is one the axioms used within Dialogic Design Science. The Global Agoras community has attributed this axiom to LaDonna Harris and Reynaldo Trevino.

The Epistemological Axiom states that a comprehensive science of the human being should inquire about human life in its totality of thinking, wanting, telling, and feeling, like the indigenous people and the ancient Athenians were capable of doing. It should not be dominated by the traditional Western Epistemology that reduced science to only intellectual dimensions.
