Fallibilism and Epistemology The quest for certainty has gotten epistemology into a lot of hot water, and I propose we give it up as a mistake.

It is, of course, a reasonable question whether we can consistently get along without certainty, and even if it is possible, whether there is some terrible price to be paid if we do.

Accepting a skeptical viewpoint would only lead us to a life of pure perspicuity. Arguments against the absurdity of thinking that any source of knowledge or information when concluding a premise is thus circular and holds no weight as to the validity of said premise, showing that we must provide some type of justification, whether proven or otherwise to defend our opinions and conclude value for arguments. To accept this rationale would equate to accepting skepticism across all epistemic philosophical
