I hightly doubt that this comic resembles a true event 🤔

Extreme Skepticism

#Montaigne, #Hume, and #Descartes are modern #skeptics who formulate specific #skepticisms about how we understand the world.

#Pyrrho on the other hand was an ancient #skeptic supposedly #skeptical of everything and anything. However, fittingly, we don't really know his exact beliefs, so we should take a skeptical stance towards anything people ascribe to him.

As a Librarian it is part of my calling to bring attention to readers books that they may not be aware of, and through the use of professional empathy, in hope they are of use to audiences which may not at first sight consider them. This is one such work. Palmer, Tim, The Primacy of Doubt: From Climate Change to Quantum Physics, How the Science of Uncertainty Can Help Predict and Understand Our Chaotic World #9780192843593

#DiogenesLaertius on #Pyrrho, or rather #Timon on #epoche — the "withholding of assent"

The appendix to Part I of #Spinoza's Ethics constitutes one of the most concerted arguments against #teleology in nature that I've found before #Darwin.

The other major one I have looked at is dependent origination in #buddhism which I have written about here https://bit.ly/3glD7bD

Do you know any others in #philosophy or elsewhere?

I'm aware I need to look more into #Hume #Bacon #Lucretius and #Pyrrho and I'm currently deep in #Nietzsche

Anyone have a view on Richard Bett vs Christopher Beckwith? They seem to have some tension (reading Beckwith's Greek Buddha and Bett's Cambridge Guide to Ancient Scepticism)
