Paula Băltuță is a contemporary philosopher whose work engages with epistemology and the theory of knowledge, particularly the distinction between demonstrative and probabilistic reasoning. Her scholarship explores the limits of human knowledge and the epistemic status of conclusions that fall short of apodictic certainty. She draws on both classical and contemporary traditions to examine the nature of plausible inference.
Examined the epistemic category of probabilis (plausible) reasoning distinct from apodictic demonstration
Contributed to contemporary debates on the limits and gradations of human knowledge
Engaged with the Aristotelian and Scholastic heritage of epistemic classification
