Abstract
THE ANTECEDENTS OF FALLIBILISM IN THE PHILOSOPHY OF CARNEADES
Summary
In this article, I undertake an attempt at recognizing and critically analyzing antecedents
of fallibilism in the philosophy of Carneades. Because descriptions of
fallibilism are somewhat ambiguous, it is imperative that we first determine the
semantic root of this doctrine (both in its negative and positive dimensions) before
discussing it in historical and philosophical reflections. The main goal of this article
is not to prove that Carneades was a fallibilist before Peirce and Popper, or that he
was a precursor of this position; rather, the aim is to critically review arguments for
and against fallibilistic interpretations of Carneades’ views. To this end, I introduce
a distinction between global and local fallibilism, as well as discuss the position of
eudaimonological fallibilism. The reflections contained in this article fit with the
current lively debate on the historical roots of fallibilism.
