Summary/Abstract: This article is concerned with analysis of the skeptical paradox from the fallibilistic and infalibilistic models of knowledge standpoint. If we could consider these two models as models which can be found in philosophy of science and science itself, we might show that the key to defend our ordinary knowledge claims from the skeptical attacks consists of explaining on which model we base our knowledge claims found in the skeptical paradox. I shall attempt to investigate chief advantages and disadvantages of the both models, and then to explore which one of them is a better path to take when dealing with the skeptic.
