While it can sometimes mean to be critical of dubious claims, like miracle cures and fad diets, it also refers to a philosophical belief that some knowledge can’t be attained. For example, how do we know the world is real? Are my eyes showing me an accurate representation of what’s around me? • In this episode of Perspectives, five experts discuss these different kinds of skepticism and, surprisingly enough, where they meet. • ----------------------------------- • Clips in this video are from the following series on Wondrium: • Theories of Knowledge: How to Think about What You Know, presented by Joseph H.
