epistemological holism means



a systems statement coher ie dont contradict with every other statement in
the system A systems statements interlock they share a common logic and
are involved enblock in every proof.A systems statements face the
tribunal of proof as a corporate body of statements. A systems statements about mathematics face the tribunal of proof not
individually but only as a corporate body.


thus if a statement contradicts another statement then the system as a
corporate body enblock falls apart into inconsistency

hence skolems paradox reduces set theory thus ZFC to inconsistency

ALSO
a systems statements face the tribunal of proof as a corporate body of
statements. A systems statements about mathematics face the tribunal of proof not individually but only as a corporate body.


thus systems which are incomplete ie there is one statement that cant be
proven then the system enblock cant prove anything

thus the systems ZFC, PA, Q due to there, incompleteness cant prove
anything

Quine thought that logic itself is not fixed because logic must accommodate real, physical events.

By the way, there can be no proof of a closed holistic system.
