Epistemology is the broad philosophical study of knowledge covering many non-formal dimensions (such as perception, testimony, and skepticism), whereas formal logic is merely a specialized tool or sub-branch utilized within certain approaches to epistemology. Therefore, they are not logically equivalent.
