Contemporary infallibilism


Infallibilism is rejected by most modern epistemologists, who generally accept that one can have knowledge based on fallible justification. Baron Reed has portrayed an account of the reasons why infallibilism is so widely regarded as untenable today.

Broad consensus notwithstanding, some modern philosophers make-up featured arguments in defense of infallibilism and hit therefore come to reject fallibilism.
