| Title | Pyrrhonism and Cartesianism: external world and aliens |
| Summary | In this thesis, it is argued about some of the points of Pyrrhonian thought, for which the main source is Sextus Empiricus’ Outlines of Pyrrhonism , and which is reinforced into Western philosophy by Montaigne. The attention is focused on the segment of contemporary debates which concerns the scope of Pyrrhonian skepticism as less wide than one of the Cartesian skepticism. The aim of the paper is to claim that regardless of the fact that scope of Pyrrhonian skepticism can or cannot be expanded to cover all which falls into the scope of Cartesianism, it still does have serious power in terms of epistemology. |
