Elenchos

For those who have been wondering, the Italian journal Elenchos, which over the years has published quite a few articles on ancient skepticism, will now be published by Walter de Gruyter. First edited by Gabriele Giannantoni and then by Anna Maria Ioppolo, the journal will now be edited by Francesca Alesse, Riccardo Chiaradonna, and Emidio Spinelli. The new journal's webpage can be found here.

A Dialogue on External World Skepticism

A peculiar book discussing arguments for and against external world skepticism was published a couple of months ago: Eli Hirsch, Radical Skepticism and the Shadow of Doubt: A Philosophical Dialogue (Bloomsbury, 2018). To get a precise idea of its approach and contents, you can read a very recent review by Samuel Lebens in Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews.

Contextualism and Skepticism
