Pyrrhonian Modes

On September 6-7, there will be a workshop on the different sets of Pyrrhonian modes at the Maimonides Centre for Advanced Studies, Hamburg University. For more information, go here.

Moral Realism/Anti-Realism

In recent posts, I referred to new books dealing with moral skepticism. To this list, I should now add Thomas Pölzler's Moral Reality and the Empirical Sciences (Routledge, 2018).

Book on Jewish Skepticism

Giuseppe Veltri's new book, Alienated Wisdom: Enquiry into Jewish Philosophy and Scepticism, has just been published by Walter de Gruyter. For more information, go here.

Pyrrhonian Argumentation

My paper “Pyrrhonian Argumentation: Therapy, Dialectic, and Inquiry” -- forthcoming in Apeiron -- is now available online ahead of print.

Debunking Arguments

Hanno Sauer's Debunking Arguments in Ethics has just been published by Cambridge University Press. I haven't been able to take a closer a look at it yet, but it looks like a fine addition to the growing literature on the topic.

Epistemology in Latin America

For what it's worth, my entry “Epistemology in Latin America” -- one of whose sections deals with skepticism -- has just been published in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. 

Sextus's Adversus Mathematicos

A new English translation of Sextus Empiricus's Adversus Mathematicos has just been published: Sextus Empiricus: Against Those in the Disciplines, translated with introduction and notes by Richard Bett (OUP, 2018). For more information, go here.

New Book on Moral Error Theory

Over the past few years, a considerable number of new books and articles on moral error theory have appeared in print. To these one must now add Wouter Kalf's Moral Error Theory (Palgrave Macmillan, 2018). For detailed information, go here.

Augustine and Academic Skepticism

A few days ago, I came across a book that seems to have gone unnoticed, namely, Blake D. Dutton's Augustine and Academic Skepticism: A Philosophical Study (Cornell University Press, 2016). More information can be found here.

New Book on Ancient Skepticism

I'm glad to announce that the book Le scepticisme, by Stéphane Marchand, has just been published by Vrin. This is without a doubt an important addition to the scholarship on ancient skepticism in French. For more information, go here.

Early Modern (Anti-)Skepticism

On June 8, 2018, the Maimonides Centre for Advanced Studies will host the workshop “Early Modern (Anti-)Scepticism.” For complete information, click here.

Issue 8.2 of IJSS

Issue 8.2 of the International Journal for the Study of Skepticism is now out. It features articles by Ali Hasan and Chris Ranalli, and book reviews by Hal Thorsrud and Michael Hickson. It can be accessed here.

A History of Skepticism

I've just found out about this very recent book by Renata Zieminska (University of Szczecin, Poland): The History of Skepticism: In Search of Consistency (Peter Lang, 2017). Renata has published several papers on skepticism over the past few years, but I haven't had the chance to take a look at the book, so any comments on it will be welcome.

Sextus's Against the Grammarians

Stéphane Marchand has just called my attention to an annotated Portuguese translation, by Joseane Prezotto, of part of Sextus Empiricus's Against the Grammarians that has been published in the Brazilian journal Hypnos. It can be found here.
