Abstract

A standard form of skeptical scenario, in the tradition of Descartes’ evil demon, raises the prospect that our sensory experiences are deceptive. A less familiar and importantly different kind of skeptical scenario raises the prospect that our beliefs have been debased (Schaffer, 2010). This paper provides a new and improved way of resisting this latter kind of debasing skepticism. Along the way, I explore how the debasing demon scenario connects with some potentially controversial epistemological principles and clear up various neglected or misunderstood points concerning debasing skepticism.

《论被贬低》

一种标准形式的怀疑情景，在笛卡尔的邪恶恶魔的传统中，提出了我们的感官体验是欺骗性的前景。一种不太熟悉的、重要的不同类型的怀疑情景提出了我们的信念被贬低的前景（Schaffer, 2010）。本文提供了一种新的和改进的方式来抵制后一种贬低的怀疑主义。在此过程中，我探索了贬低恶魔的场景如何与一些潜在的有争议的认识论原则联系起来，并澄清了关于贬低怀疑主义的各种被忽视或误解的观点。

期刊介绍： Philosophical Studies was founded in 1950 by Herbert Feigl and Wilfrid Sellars to provide a periodical dedicated to work in analytic philosophy. The journal remains devoted to the publication of papers in exclusively analytic philosophy. Papers applying formal techniques to philosophical problems are welcome. The principal aim is to publish articles that are models of clarity and precision in dealing with significant philosophical issues. It is intended that readers of the journal will be kept abreast of the central issues and problems of contemporary analytic philosophy. Double-blind review procedure The journal follows a double-blind reviewing procedure. Authors are therefore requested to place their name and affiliation on a separate page. Self-identifying citations and references in the article text should either be avoided or left blank when manuscripts are first submitted. Authors are responsible for reinserting self-identifying citations and references when manuscripts are prepared for final submission.
