Title: Conflicting Appearances, Suspension of Judgment, and Pyrrhonian Skepticism without Commitment

Abstract: By means of the Ten Modes, Pyrrhonian skeptics appeal to
conflicting appearances to bring about suspension of judgment.
However, precisely how the skeptic might do so in a non-dogmatic
manner is not entirely clear and raises broader questions concerning
the rationality of Pyrrhonian skepticism. In this paper, I argue
against existing accounts of the Modes and defend an alternative
account which better explains the logical structure, rational nature,
and effectiveness of the Modes. In particular, I clarify how the Modes
appeal to concerns about epistemic impartiality and circularity, the
nature of the skeptic’s non-doxastic attitude(s), and how the skeptic
can employ the Modes non-dogmatically.

This event is completely virtual and will take place via Zoom.
