The ordinary language argument against skepticism—pragmatized
Philosophical Studies 176 (4):879-896 (2019)
Abstract
I develop a new version of the ordinary language response to skepticism. My version is based on premises about the practical functions served by our epistemic words. I end by exploring how my argument against skepticism is interestingly non-circular and philosophically valuable.Author's Profile
