MORE SCEPTICISM ABOUT SCEPTICISM
Oxford Journal of Legal Studies, 1988Considering the difficulties for a modern reader of the writings on evidence of Bentham and Wigmore, it is pleasing to have a book,1 written with clarity and economy, which conveys the main ideas of each. Given his knowledge of those writings and of the intellectual history of evidence scholarship, few could be as well-qualified to write it as William ...

Sceptical theism and moral scepticism
Religious Studies, 2007Several theists have adopted a position known as ‘sceptical theism’, according to which God is justified in allowing suffering, but the justification is often beyond human comprehension. A problem for sceptical theism is that if there are unknown justifications for suffering, then we cannot know whether it is right for a human being to relieve ...

Seeking refuge in abstract ideals, the Stoic tried to negate the whole world in one act. The trouble is that ideals compete, entailing dialectical unrest. The Skeptic is thereby forced to divide himself into two, hence the structure of skeptic subjectivity: endlessly caught in the unstable tension between two irreconcilable demands.

Abstract The chapter analyses a leading argument for scepticism, according to which one has the same evidence in one's actual case as in a sceptical scenario in which one is deceived and therefore does not know which case one is in. The sceptic's argument for the sameness of evidence depends on the idea that one must always be in a ...

AbstractChapter 6 addresses the problem of scepticism. More specifically, it focuses on a particularly difficult sceptical argument which proceeds from the plausible claims (i) that we don’t know that we are not radically deceived and (ii) that, if so, we don’t know much at all to the problematic sceptical conclusion that we don’t know much at all.

Abstract Sceptics maintain that they cannot find any rational resolution of the apparent conflicts among different people’s views on ethics (among other things), and that their inability causes them to suspend judgment. In the face of variation among ethical beliefs between different people and different societies they recognize no ...

Radical scepticism is the contention that little or no knowledge of one’s ‘external’ surroundings might be possible. Most modern forms of scepticism have their roots in René Descartes’ Meditations which first advocated a method of ‘radical doubt’: imagining, for the sake of argument, that all one’s beliefs are false in the hope of finding some ...
