#49 - How to Keep an Open Mind... Like a Skeptic!
Manage episode 307378975 series 2750129
Skepticism has woven its way throughout the entire history of philosophy... and yet as a formal school of thought it was (and still is) fairly niche and unknown.
Why is that? What does Skepticism REALLY entail? And what can we learn from the remaining Skeptic works (of which there are so few) that can help us bridge our political divides?
Richard Bett, Professor of Philosophy and Classics at Johns Hopkins University and author of How to Keep an Open Mind: An Ancient Guide to Thinking Like a Skeptic discusses the pros and cons of Sextus’ Empiricus, the only Greek Skeptic whose work has survived.
We'll delve into how exactly can ancient skepticism help you attain tranquility by learning to suspend judgment....
