Global Skepticism

Global skepticism is the philosophical viewpoint that questions the possibility of obtaining true knowledge about the world. It suggests that we cannot be entirely certain of what we know because our perceptions and beliefs may be influenced by factors like bias, misinformation, or limitations in our senses. In the context of general knowledge, global skepticism challenges us to critically evaluate our assumptions and the information we accept as true, encouraging a more cautious and questioning approach to knowledge claims. While it fosters humility in what we hold to be true, it can also make absolute certainty seem elusive.
