Popkin and Skepticism

The following book on Richard Popkin has just been released:

Jeremy Popkin, Asher Salah, and Giuseppe Veltri (eds.), A Sceptical Jew. Richard H. Popkin’s Private Republic of Letters. Maimonides Library for Philosophy and Religion, Volume: 8. Brill, 2025.

Richard H. Popkin (1923–2005) was a pioneer in the field of Jewish studies. His numerous books and articles broke new ground in the study of Jewish-Christian relations in the early modern period and in the exploration of the impact of Jews and Judaism on philosophy and religious thought. A Sceptical Jew: Richard H. Popkin’s Private Republic of Letters brings together selections from Popkin’s private correspondence and other documents to illuminate the sources of his interests and the nature of his contributions to the fields in which he worked.

Skepticism in the 16th Century

There's a new book by Emmanuel Naya (École Normale Supérieure de Lyon):

Lire le scepticisme au xvie siècle: Le phénomène pyrrhonien. Paris: Classiques Garnier, 2024.

“How did skeptical thinking emerge during the Renaissance? This cannot be understood in the light of modern studies on such an ancient current. Scholars of the sixteenth century were readers dependent on the interpretation of printer-booksellers, whose key role is studied here.”

Error Theory and Fictionalism

There's a new book by Richard Joyce on moral error theory and moral fictionalism:

Richard Joyce, From Error to Fiction. Oxford University Press, 2024.

This is a topic on which he has published extensively, and so I'm curious to see what new insights he has to offer in this work. For further information, visit here.

Book on Disagreement

My short book, Disagreement (CUP, 2024), has just been released and is available for free download for the next four weeks. While it focuses primarily on the skeptical implications of disagreement, it also touches on other related themes.
