| Healthy Skepticism and Practical Wisdom | |
| Συγγραφέας: Pierre Le Morvan Pierre LE MORVAN: Healthy Skepticism and Practical Wisdom (pdf, 16 pages)   This  paper  explores  and  articulates  an  alternative  to  the  two  main approaches  that  have  come  to  predominate  in  contemporary  philosophical discussions of skepticism. These we may call the ‗Foil Approach‘ and the ‗Bypass Approach‘ respectively. On the Foil Approach, skepticism is treated as a problem to be solved, or challenge to be met, or threat to be parried; skepticism‘s value, insofar  as  it  is  deemed  to  have  one,  accrues  from  its  role  as  a  foil  contrastively illuminating what is required for knowledge and justified belief. On the Bypass Approach,  skepticism  is  bypassed  as  a  central  concern  of  epistemology.  In  this paper,  I  articulate  an  alternative  to  both  these  approaches,  one  that  explores when skepticism is healthy and when it is not. I call it the ‗Health Approach‘ to skepticism. | |
