    Certainty Certainty is the belief in yourself that you can empower anything. Doubt is the fear of failure and is what the mass majority are overcome with. Certainty is the inner strength that everyone has‚ just not many want to express‚ that is why there are leaders and followers‚ strong and the weak‚ living and the dead. With inner strength your capabilities are limitless but when there is doubt‚ there is nothing. Doubt is one obstacle in a world filled with a plethora of them. Doubts

    How Is Certainty Possible? Certainty is defined as being free of doubt. In philosophy is there such a thing that we know without any doubt? Do we know anything with absolute certainty? Although we may believe to have genuine knowledge in some cases‚ there are other cases in which we do not know‚ but only think we know. Now therein lies the problem‚ how do we distinguish what is absolutely certain and what is not? This is why the idea of knowledge and certainty is so important. Both empiricists

    necessary to delineate the boundaries of its definition. It is in this context that I will discuss knowledge in the sense that implies certainty as the level of confidence I hold in its ability to reflect reality. Hereafter I will defend the notion that certain knowledge is impossible‚ as delineated by the theory of skepticism‚ and conclude by asserting that certainty is an unnecessary quality of knowledge in non-philosophical use.

Both William Lyon Phelps and Bertrand Russell strongly support their stance on the difference between certainty and doubt
