Sceptical Paths offers a fresh look at key junctions in the history
of scepticism. Throughout this collection, key figures are
reinterpreted, key arguments are reassessed, lesser-known figures
are reintroduced, accepted distinctions are challenged, and new
ideas are explored. The historiography of scepticism is usually
based on a distinction between ancient and modern. The former is
understood as a way of life which focuses on enquiry, whereas the
latter is taken to be an epistemological approach which focuses on
doubt. The studies in Sceptical Paths not only deepen the
understanding of these approaches, but also show how ancient
sceptical ideas find their way into modern thought, and modern
sceptical ideas are anticipated in ancient thought. Within this
state of affairs, the presence of sceptical arguments within
Medieval philosophy is reflected in full force, not only enriching
the historical narrative, but also introducing another layer to the
sceptical discourse, namely its employment within theological
settings. The various studies in this book exhibit the rich variety
of expression in which scepticism manifests itself within various
context and set against various philosophical and religious
doctrines, schools, and approaches.
