The distinction between truth-skepticism and epistemological skepticism is therefore not robust under error-theoretic metaethics, where metaphysical and epistemic failure are co-extensive.

Epistemic: "Epistemic" relates to knowledge—how we know things, what counts as knowledge, and whether we can trust what we believe to be true. It comes from the Greek word for knowledge and is used to describe questions about the reliability and validity of our beliefs and understanding. For example, "epistemic humility" means acknowledging the limits of what you can actually know for certain.
Epistemological skepticism(theory of knowledge): The philosophical position that we can't have reliable knowledge about the world, or that knowledge is impossible or severely limited.
Error-theoretic metaethics(ethics/metaethics): A theory about morality claiming that all moral statements are false because moral facts don't actually exist.
Metaethics(as the general field this statement appears in): The branch of philosophy that asks questions about morality itself—like whether moral truths actually exist, or what makes something right or wrong.
