Fallibilists include much more within the ambit of the philosophy of mathematics . Since mathematics is seen as fallible, it cannot be categorically divorced from the empirical (and hence fallible ) knowledge of the physical and other sciences. Since falliblism attends to the genesis of mathematical knowledge as well as its product, mathematics is seen as embedded in history and in human practice. Therefore mathematics cannot be divorced from the humanities and the social sciences, or from a considerations of human culture in general. Thus from a fallibilist perspective mathematics is seen as connected with, and indissolubly a part of the whole fabric of human knowledge.
