Oct 11, 2022 at 8:25 | comment | added | Geoffrey Thomas♦ | Welcome, lovelace0207. I'm not sure that there is such a thing as 'the' problem of skepticism - you need to add focus. Nor am I clear what 'the skeptical paradox' is. Here again you need to be more specific. I'll let the question stand for now but it does need more focus and detail. | |
Oct 9, 2022 at 2:46 | comment | added | Double Knot | Sounds like the epistemic anti-skeptical resolution depends on a particular agent, if you follow Norzick's account in terms of possible worlds semantics, it's agent irrelevant and only depends on the primitive notions of truth, belief and subjunctive conditionals where you do know insofar as the truth that "you have hands" is appropriately tracked by your belief in the actual world's close PWs with said truth and its negation. We normally don't add another PWs layer to account for the necessity or possibility of such knowledge. Epistemic modal logic can account for agent's possibility... | |

Oct 8, 2022 at 17:43 | comment | added | David Gudeman | What is "the skeptical paradox"? I'll note that most responses to skepticism aren't attempts to prove something in the skeptic's own terms, but rather rejections of the skeptic's concept of what constitutes knowledge or proof or something similar. | |
