Pyrrhonism and Inquiry

I'd like to let you know about the latest paper on Sextan Pyrrhonism by Filip Grgić (Zagreb): "Investigative and Suspensive Scepticism," European Journal of Philosophy. The article hasn't appeared in print yet, but it has already been published online here. If you're interested in Pyrrhonism, you should definitely read it.

Sextus, Montaigne, and Hume

A couple of days ago, I received information about a new paper by Brian Ribeiro: "Sextus, Montaigne, Hume: Exercises in Skeptical Cartography," The Modern Schoolman 87 (2009): 7-34. The paper can be found here. If you don't have institutional access, you can contact the author for a copy.

Space in Hellenistic Philosophy

As I said back in January, on May 11th the University of Notre Dame will hold the workshop "Ancient Skepticism, Voluntarism, and Science".

Complete information can be found by clicking on the image below (it will be better if you open it in a new window). Alternatively, send me an email and I'll send you the PDF file.

Dream Skepticism

Kristoffer Ahlstrom (Copenhagen) recently published "Dream Skepticism and the Conditionality Problem," Erkenntnis 75 (2011): 45-60. The paper, which critically discusses Sosa's arguments against dream skepticism, can be found here.
