Skepticism and Perceptual Justification

A couple of days ago, I read about this forthcoming collection: Scepticism and Perceptual Justification (OUP), edited by Dylan Dodd and Elia Zardini. For more information, go here.

Against Ethical Skepticism

In his recent book, Knowing Right from Wrong (OUP, 2012), Kieran Setiya (Pittsburgh) proposes to meet several skeptical challenges to moral knowledge. Information about the book can be found here; and here you'll find Charlie Kurth's review in Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews.

Inquiry, Rationality, and Action in Sextus

Today I received the electronic offprint of my "Pyrrhonism, Inquiry, and Rationality," Elenchos 34 (2013): 201–228, which is a critical notice of Casey Perin's The Demands of Reason (OUP, 2010). I enjoyed writing this paper because discussing Casey's thoughtful views and arguments allowed me to restate my general interpretation of Sextus and think further about the problems raised by his Pyrrhonism.

Skepticism about Free Will

A couple of days ago, I received an email letting me know about this new collection: Exploring the Illusion of Free Will and Moral Responsibility (Lexington Books, 2013), edited by Gregg Caruso. For complete information, go here.

Curitiba Conference

The three-day conference on Pyrrhonism that Luiz Eva organized in Curitiba ended yesterday. It was really good because of the combination of heated historical, exegetical, and philosophical discussion. As far as I am concerned, such discussion allowed me to confirm that, in order to defend a neo-Pyrrhonian outlook in contemporary epistemology, it is crucial to focus on the phenomenon of disagreement (or at least so it seems to me).
