Living in Doubt: Carneades' Pithanon Reconsidered
Oxford Studies in Ancient Philosophy 31:243-80 (2006)
Abstract
In this paper, I argue that Carneades' pithanon should be understood as what is probably, though not certainly, true. In this, I oppose, e.g., Burnyeat and Frede, who argue that the pithanon should be understood as the persuasive, and not tied to notions of evidential support. There is a free pdf of this paper available on the OSAP website; see the link below.Author's Profile
