FILO-3593 Seminar on Skepticism

The purpose of this course is to study skeptic lines. Skepticism´s contribution to philosophy includes a reflection on the limits of knowledge as a series of more and less complex methods for the evaluation of beliefs. Among the former methods, the skeptical one was dialectic and included the review of each thesis with its anti-thesis. If the exam produced the same plausibility of each position as output, it was concluded that both beliefs had to be abandoned and the judgment suspended. In modernity, even though the dialectic facet of the sceptical methods is diluted, the power of doubt increases.
