I suspect it is the standard edition.
I have Pro and it shows as Windows 8 Pro as per the image below.
Alternatively, you can try the following from the command line:
systeminfo | findstr /B /C:"OS Name" /C:"OS Version"

To complement the other answers, I have Windows 8.1 Basic Edition, and the System Properties shows just "Windows 8.1".
In PC Settings -> PC Info, the same information is available:
This should complement the screenshots of the other editions shown in the other answers.

It will tell you on the System properties screen (WinBreak). I'm running Win 8 Pro and it reflects that:
If yours just says "Windows 8" then I would say you are running the standard version.

The only way to check your windows version is to open cmd.exe and type:
slmgr.vbs /dli
Wait a few moments, here's what mine says:
Name: Windows(R), Professional edition
Description: Windows(R) Operating System, VOLUME_KMSCLIENT channel
So, I am running Windows 8 Professional Volume Licensing

Try opening Windows/System32/license.rtf, it should say exactly which Windows version you are using.
This method is useful when you are trying to determine your Windows version from an offline Windows partition (when you boot into a Linux for example).
