My Updated, Moderate Epistemological Stance

 My stance of epistemological moderation had been characterized, by me,  previously as some sort of fallibilism and pluralism. It is still those viewpoints, but I would like to add a tinge of moderate foundationalism to capture that the most truthful and accurate epistemological stance, from my perspective, for the knower or would-be-knower. This useful epistemological stance to adopt is to favor objectivism over subjectivism (Moderate epistemological stance is both/and, not either/or, with the seeker knowing or seeking with a majority objective approach, flavored by a skeptical, subjective input.in epistemologicali outlook, while still hoping that strong foundationalism is graspable.).

It may be that Aristotelian logic is not how the world is, but that is mostly how the world is metaphysically, This probablistic logic influences our epistemology or is is based upon an axiom that contradiction is what is true. and that dogmatic consistency, monism and pure epistemological stance, on the one hand, as a dogmatic objectivist or dogmatic subjectivist outlook is false and unworkable

On the other hand, it is a lie perpetuated by the pure skeptic that there are no known proposition--that we cannot know them even if they did exist noumenally. To radically ant--knowing is knowable or as a nihilist assuming that there is no truth, no meaning that exists to be perceived, received or understood.
