Is there a philosopher that has been sceptical about scepticism?

>> No.3539089

It's called Metaskepticism.

I think Jeffrey Biggim had some works on it, though some of his stuff is hard to slog through.

I'm skeptical that it's even possible to be truly skeptical toward being skeptical toward skeptics who are skeptical about skeptics who are skeptically skeptic

Skeptically, of course.

Metaskepticism, like Postmodernism, is a blanket term for any of the various levels of meta or post that you can list.

In essence, post-postmodernism and skepticism about being skeptical of skepticism are both contained within their respective blanket terms.

That being said, Biggim. Look him up.

Ancient skepticism is not what the modern "skeptics" made of it. The nouveaux pyrrhoniens and everything that came since is something pretty unrelated to Pyrrho or even Sextus.

>> No.3539138

I followed the skepticism of skepticism path and wound up just meditating.

You made that guy up. I googled him and didn't find a philosopher at all.

Oh, maybe I gave you the wrong spelling. It could be Bigham, Biggum, or maybe even something like Brigham. I know I've read some of his work, though. He's out there.

skepticism in general seems to have a proper place. but particular skeptical attacks have always been contested. dunno what you are asking

Imagine where science would be if it was all based on skepticism. Though, we do have people like Dawkins...but yuck, who actually wanted a Dawkins?

You have obviously never read a single work of philosophy in your entire life. Get off of 4chan and start reading and thinking if you care that much about it.

That is, if this isn't a troll thread.
