Document Details : Title: De pyrronistische zaak Author(s): WIELAND, Jan Willem Journal: Tijdschrift voor Filosofie Volume: 74 Issue: 3 Date: 2012 Pages: 523-532 DOI: 10.2143/TVF.74.3.2174108 Abstract : This article critically reviews a new collection on Pyrrhonism edited by Diego Machuca, Pyrrhonism in Ancient, Modern, and Contemporary Philosophy, which fits within the recent focus on the systematic, philosophical import of Pyrrhonism. In this article I both situate and summarize the problems posed by the authors regarding the Pyrrhonist’s position (concerning its coherence, its theoretical motivation, and its practical motivation), and indicate to what extent Pyrrhonists might be able to meet them. I conclude that, so far, Pyrrhonism, i.e. the view which propagates global suspension of belief, remains a promising option. |
