Fergus Kerr's "Stanley Cavell And The Truth Of Skepticism"

Abstract: 3 pages in length. Analyzing Fergus Kerr's Stanley Cavell and the Truth of Skepticism finds that the very nature of philosophy is grounded within a foundation of postulation and skepticism; without the presence of uncertainty brought about by skepticism, the fundamental tenets of philosophy would have nothing upon which to be challenged. In essence, skepticism is the single-most important facet of philosophy by virtue of its intrinsic need to question reality. This system of checks and balances helps to equalize what man truly knows and that which he thinks he knows, serving as "forever an inherent aspiration of the thing we know as human" (Kerr, 1997, p. PG). No additional sources cited.
