Pyrrhonian Skepticism Meets Speech-Act Theory [PDF]
International Journal for the Study of Skepticism, 2012 This paper applies speech-act theory to craft a new response to Pyrrhonian skepticism and diagnose its appeal. Carefully distinguishing between different levels of language-use and noting their interrelations can help us identify a subtle mistake in a key Pyrrhonian argument.

Conflicting Appearances, Suspension of Judgment, and Pyrrhonian Skepticism without Commitment [PDF]
Journal of the History of Philosophy, 2022 By means of the Ten Modes, Pyrrhonian skeptics appeal to conflicting appearances to bring about suspension of judgment. However, precisely how the skeptic might do so in a nondogmatic manner is not entirely clear. In this paper, I argue that existing accounts of the Modes face significant objections, and I defend an alternative account that better ...

Davison on Skepticism: How not to Respond to the Skeptic [PDF]
Principia: An International Journal of Epistemology, 2005 In his defense of a coherence theory of truth and knowledge, Donald Davidson insists that (i) we must take the objects of a belief to be the causes of that belief, and (ii) given the nature of beliefs, most of our be-liefs are veridical.

The Curved Logic of Knowledge: Pyrrhonian Skepticism as Non-Commutativity [PDF]
We develop a curved logic of knowledge in which Pyrrhonian skepticism appears as a structural interaction between two context operators. Knowledge is modeled as an interior comonad, and suspension of judgment (epochē) as the cofree comonad generated by a one-step “witness of unknowability.” The failure of these two operators to commute is our epistemic

Adaptation, Activism, and the Looming Climate Disaster†
Educational Theory, Volume 73, Issue 6, Page 801-821, December 2023., 2023 Abstract It is likely that the process of global climate change will continue to accelerate. There is a lack of political will to confront the problem and the consequences for humanity — including widespread suffering and institutional destabilization — will be disastrous. How should educators respond to a catastrophic future?

Understanding Wittgenstein's positive philosophy through language‐games: Giving philosophy peace
Philosophical Investigations, Volume 46, Issue 3, Page 376-394, July 2023., 2023 Abstract A significant discrepancy in Wittgenstein's studies is whether Philosophical Investigations contains any trace of positive philosophy, notwithstanding the author's apparent anti‐theoretic position. This study argues that the so‐called ‘Chapter on philosophy’ in the Investigations §§89–133 contains negative and positive vocabulary and the use ...

Commitment and Reasons – A Comment on Ruth Chang, ‘Three Dogmas of Normativity’
Journal of Applied Philosophy, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 220-230, May 2023., 2023 ABSTRACT Ruth Chang has argued convincingly that we must recognize that some choices will not involve strict, univocal comparison of options. How, then, can such choices be made well? Chang suggests that commitment is a fundamental way of ‘putting one's very self’ behind a normative consideration, thereby ‘endow[ing] that consideration with the ...

PYRRHONIAN PRACTICE: PYRRHONIAN SKEPTICISM AS INVESTIGATIVE, SUSPENSIVE, AND THERAPEUTIC [PDF]
, 2023 Can the Pyrrhonian skeptic be a genuine inquirer? Sextus Empiricus seems to insist that this is so - many scholars, both ancient and contemporary, have disagreed. The practice, these interpreters suggest, is aimed at a therapeutic end, not an inquisitive
