摘要

本文旨在为乔纳森-沙弗尔（Jonathan Schaffer）最初提出的 "贬低恶魔 "的相关性进行辩护。为此，我首先要为这一怀疑论假说辩护，反对批评者；其次，要指出这一恶魔的运作与内隐偏见之间的重要相似之处。在此过程中，我将这一怀疑论证与其他更著名的怀疑论证进行了比较，从而阐明了它的结构。我还澄清了贬低性的怀疑论方案以及一些回复的操作途径。除了作为一种不同的怀疑论挑战本身具有趣味性之外，"贬损恶魔 "还提出了有关偏见的重要问题，我将通过一个认识论去殖民化的例子来说明这一点。

The Debasing Demon Resurrected

The aim of this paper is to strike a blow for the relevance of the debasing demon originally summoned by Jonathan Schaffer. I do so by, first, defending this skeptical hypothesis against critics and, second, by noting important similarities between the workings of this demon and implicit bias. Along the way, I elucidate the structure of this skeptical argument by comparing it to other better-known skeptical arguments. I also clarify the kinds of access the debasing skeptical scenario, as well as some of the replies, operate with. Apart from being interesting in its own right as a different skeptical challenge, the debasing demon raises important issues regarding bias, as I will show by using an example from epistemic decolonialization.

期刊介绍： As the first international journal entirely devoted to philosophical skepticism, the International Journal for the Study of Skepticism publishes high-quality articles and discussion notes on any field of research relevant to the study of skeptical thought. The journal also contains critical notices and reviews of major books on skepticism, and organizes book symposia on recent ground-breaking works. On occasion, it publishes special issues devoted to current lively debates on specific topics or authors. The wide range of areas covered includes the history and significance of ancient, medieval, modern, and contemporary skepticism as well as discussions of current specific skeptical problems and arguments in epistemology, metaethics, ontology, philosophy of religion, philosophy of mind, and philosophy of language.
