Fallibilism
Etymology
From Latin "fallere" (to err, deceive), via "fallible." Associated especially with Charles Sanders Peirce, it names the doctrine that no belief is guaranteed beyond all possible revision, while denying that this collapses into skepticism.
noun · /FAL-uh-bil-iz-um/
The view that we can hold justified beliefs and even knowledge without those beliefs being certain or immune to error.
What it names
A handle for intellectual humility with teeth — reach for it to insist that being open to revision is compatible with genuinely knowing things now.
Example
A fallibilist scientist can be confident in evolution while cheerfully admitting future evidence could refine or overturn parts of it.
Related idea
It occupies the ground between dogmatic certainty and outright relativism, keeping the possibility of truth while dropping the demand for finality.
