Högre seminariet i filosofi bjuder in till seminarium med Hugo Hellström. Seminariet har den engelska titeln "Genealogical skepticism, epistemic luck and philosophical anti-realism". 

Abstract (på engelska):

Genealogical skepticism is a family of skeptical arguments that targets some subset of our beliefs. Roughly, the idea is that the causal history of the targeted belief(s) constitutes a defeater, rendering the beliefs irrational. Amia Srinivasan (2015) argues that though some genealogical arguments are self-defeating (they rely on some targeted premise), they nevertheless reveal an instability in the premises that their opponents accept, and thus constitute a genuine problem.

Srinivasan briefly suggests three ways of “stabilizing” philosophical knowledge following the skeptical argument. They are: (i) luck-friendly epistemology; (ii) anti-realism about philosophy; (iii) suspending judgment on philosophical matters. I will discuss each of these suggestions with a special focus on the second.

Observera att seminariet ges på engelska. Alla intresserade är välkomna att delta!
