Abstract

In epistemology the nagging voice of the sceptic has always been present, whispering that "You can't know that you have hands, or just about anything else, because for all you know your whole life is a dream." Philosophers have recently devised ingenious ways to argue against and silence this voice, but Bryan Frances now presents a highly original argument template for generating new kinds of radical scepticism, ones that hold even if all the clever anti-sceptical fixes defeat the traditional sceptic. Sharp, witty, and fun to read, Scepticism Comes Alive will be highly provocative for anyone interested in knowledge and its limits.

Abstract

Skepsis ist die Bezeichnung für eine philosophische Haltung, die grundsätzlich in Frage stellt, dass wir überhaupt irgendetwas wissen können. Trotz der Erfolge der modernen Naturwissenschaften kehrt diese Frage in der gegenwärtigen Philosophie wieder. Denn es ist gerade die Wissenschaft, die uns lehrt, dass die Welt anders ist, als sie uns erscheint. Daher stellt sich für einen Skeptiker die Frage, ob sie nicht auch anders sein könnte, als sie der Wissenschaft erscheint. Diese Frage führt auf den Unterschied von Sein und Schein, von dem die antike Skepsis ihren Ausgang nimmt und der in der modernen Skepsis wiederkehrt. Allerdings besteht die Skepsis nicht nur aus kritischen Rückfragen an Wissensansprüche, sondern auch in einer Lebensform. Wenn wir nichts wissen können, was sollen wir dann tun? Auch diese Frage muss thematisieren, wer sich der Skepsis stellt.

Abstract

One of the questions that philosophers discuss is: How can we avoid, or at least reduce, errors when explaining the world ? The skeptical answer to this question is : We cannot avoid errors since no statement is certain or even definitely plausible, but we can eliminate some past errors. This book advocates the skeptical position and discusses its practical applications in science, ethics, aesthetics, and politics. It brings philosophy down to earth and comprises an outline of a skeptical guide to the real world.

Abstract

Reviewing Annette Baier’s 1995 work Moral Prejudices in the London Review of Books, Richard Rorty predicted that her work would be read hundreds of years hence; Baier’s subsequent work has borne out such expectations, and this new book further extends her reach. Here she goes beyond her earlier work on David Hume to reflect on a topic that links his philosophy to questions of immediate relevance—in particular, questions about what character is and how it shapes our lives. Ranging widely in Hume’s works, Baier considers his views on character, desirable character traits, his treatment of historical characters, and his own character as shown not just by his cheerful death—and what he chose to read shortly before it—but also by changes in his writings, especially his repudiation of the celebrated A Treatise on Human Nature. She offers new insight into the Treatise and its relation to the works in which Hume “cast anew” the material in its three books. Her reading radically revises the received interpretation of Hume’s epistemology and, in particular, philosophy of mind.
