摘要

理查德·贝特在他最近出版的《如何成为一名皮尔逊怀疑论者：皮尔逊怀疑主义的实践和意义》一书的最后一章中，讨论了今天作为皮尔逊怀疑者生活的可能性。他最关心的是怀疑论者暂停判断的范围，以及根据现代科学的结果，怀疑论者是否可以维持暂停判断。例如，鉴于气候变化的压倒性证据，怀疑论者如何维持暂停判断？甚至原子理论？最终，Bett得出结论，自然科学中的这些主张使我们无法像今天的Pyrhonist一样生活。在接下来的论文中，我认为，皮尔逊怀疑论者如何可能暂停对某些已得到充分证实的科学理论的判断，怀疑论者是如何根据理性规范这样做的，反过来，皮尔逊质疑论作为当今的一种生活方式是可能的。

Is Modern Science a Problem for Living as a Pyrrhonist Today? A Discussion of Richard Bett’s “Can We Be Ancient Sceptics?”

In the final chapter of his recent book How to Be a Pyrrhonist: The Practice and Significance of Pyrrhonian Skepticism, Richard Bett discusses the possibility of living as a Pyrrhonian skeptic today. Chief among his concerns is the scope of the skeptic’s suspension of judgment and whether or not the skeptic could maintain suspension of judgment in light of the results of modern science. For example, how might the skeptic sustain suspension of judgment in light of overwhelming evidence for climate change? Or even atomic theory? Ultimately, Bett concludes that such claims within the natural sciences preclude us from living as Pyrrhonists today. In the following paper I argue, how it is possible for the Pyrrhonian skeptic to suspend judgment on certain well-confirmed scientific theories, how the skeptic does so in accord with rational norms, and in turn, that Pyrrhonian skepticism is possible as a way of life today.

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.
