作为一部零基础哲普作品,非常好。Pritchard既能写非常专业的论文,又能写一手很好的哲普。但是有一定哲学基础的读者可能会觉得过于浅显了。
评分非常小非常薄的一本书。Further Reading非常有用,把主要的且重要的要读的文献十分集中地列了出来。大量提及SEP和IEP条目使得获取细分主题的更多信息变得更便利。这本书虽然几乎没有任何新的东西(综述为主。作者自己对维特根斯坦On Certainty的理解应该算是新的思想。除此之外就几乎没有了),倒是极具整合性和综合性,行文紧凑,提及并略述了到了众多主题(比如Virtue Epistemology, Applied Epistemology),用语(句子)非常简洁明了,不存在任何阅读上的障碍。总之,这本小书是了解Scepticism的本质、历史及回应的有用的工具!

评分作为入门书当然是五星,文献部分的确找到了不少想看的东西,即使最后一章的讨论过于偏介绍而实在太浅了些…

Duncan Pritchard is Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at the University of California, Irvine, and Professor of Philosophy at the University of Edinburgh. His books include Epistemic Luck (OUP, 2005), Epistemological Disjunctivism (OUP, 2012), The Nature and Value of Knowledge (OUP 2010), co-authored with Alan Millar, Adrian Haddock, and Epistemic Angst (Princeton UP, 2015). In 2007 he was awarded the Philip Leverhulme Prize, and, in 2011, he was elected to a Fellowship of the Royal Society of Edinburgh.
Throughout history scepticism and the urge to question accepted truths has been a powerful force for change and growth. Today, as we are bombarded by adverts, scientific studies praising the latest superfoods, and political rhetoric, a healthy amount of scepticism is widely encouraged. But when is such scepticism legitimate - for example, as a driver of new ideas - and when is it problematic? And what role might adopting a sceptical outlook play in leading an intellectually virtuous life?
In this Very Short Introduction Duncan Pritchard explores both the advantages of scepticism, in challenging outdated notions, and also how it can have unhelpful social consequences, in generating distrust. He considers the role of scepticism at the source of contemporary social and political movements such as climate change denial, post-truth politics, and fake news. Pritchard also examines the philosophical arguments for a radical form of scepticism which maintains that knowledge is impossible, and explores some of the main responses to these arguments. Finally, he considers the part scepticism might play in applying better thinking and learning to achieve a more meaningful life.
