skepticism in philosophy

Skepticism in philosophy is the questioning of the possibility of certain knowledge. Skeptics argue that we might not have good reasons to believe what we think we know, whether about the external world, other minds, or even our own perceptions. They challenge the reliability of our senses and rational thought, often emphasizing doubt as a way to seek deeper truths. This approach encourages critical thinking and careful examination of beliefs, suggesting that rather than accepting things at face value, we should seek evidence and clarity before forming conclusions.
