open access: yesEuropean Journal of Philosophy, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 1466-1485, December 2025.
Abstract Recent approaches are unable to make full sense of Nietzsche's distinction between weak and strong skepticism (BGE 208–209; A54). In this paper, I propose an alternative interpretation. My suggestion is that this distinction is best understood in the context of his virtue epistemology.
