课程名称：怀疑主义 课程概述：怀疑主义与怀疑有关，怀疑在当今世界无处不在。人们对人造气候变化的真实性、疫苗的安全性、政治家或媒体的可信度等问题产生了疑问。那么，何时这种怀疑是有根据的，何时又超出了合理的范围？这种怀疑的扩散程度如何才能保持连贯性？激进的怀疑主义可能会产生哪些有害的社会后果，如相对主义的产生（相对主义究竟是什么？为何它是一个问题？）。这些都是本课程中将要探讨的问题。同时，我们还将考虑一些重要的哲学议题，例如知识的本质、是否存在令人信服的论证显示知识是不可能的，以及温和怀疑主义如何与古老的美好生活理念相结合，这种理念本质上涉及智力美德。 本课程旨在吸引对哲学感兴趣的学习者，并为那些寻求在社区中对抗极端主义的人们提供策略。无论你在想要掌握的主题上具有什么样的技能水平，通过这些方法，你都能改变思维，改变生活。 学习者将在本课程中： - 探索怀疑主义的概念 - 讨论怀疑主义在当代社会中的作用 - 识别对怀疑主义的常见反应 - 比较和对比各种形式的怀疑主义 - 运用怀疑主义的知识形成个人立场 - 认识到知识不仅仅是正确信念 课程大纲： 1. 什么是怀疑主义？ - 探索怀疑主义的本质，研究真理和知识的基础概念，并讨论公共辩论中的当前问题（气候变化否认、假新闻等）如何利用怀疑主义；但适度的怀疑主义也可以成为一种积极的力量。 2. 知识是不可能的吗？ - 探讨人们如何知道自己并非“罐子中的大脑”，以及如何证实这一点。分析可以激发怀疑心理的事物，总结激进怀疑假设及其不可排除性，并讨论激进怀疑的悖论。 3. 保护知识 - 如何回应激进怀疑主义？讨论对知识不可能性主张的应对策略，并审视奥地利哲学家路德维希·维特根斯坦对全球理性评估可能性的贡献。 4. 作为一种生活方式的怀疑主义 - 怀疑主义与“美好生活”有什么关系？学习古代哲学家亚里士多德的观点，他认为美好生活是美德之生活。探究智力的恶习和美德如何与适度的怀疑主义相辅相成。
Name: What is Skepticism?
Description:We will begin this course by exploring the nature of Skepticism through an investigation of foundational concepts of truth and knowledge. We'll also discuss how current issues in public debate (climate change denial, fake news etc) trade on Skepticism; but how a moderate skepticism can also be a force for good.
Name:Is Knowledge Impossible?
Description:How does one know that we are not a Brain-in-a-Vat? And how can we know that we are or are not? In this module will explore what kinds of things can, and cannot, motivate skeptical doubt. We will also review the radical skeptical hypotheses, and why we can’t rule it out. We'll conclude by discussing the radical skeptical paradox.
Name:Defending Knowledge
Description:So how does one respond to radical skepticism? In this module we will discuss strategies for responding to the idea that knowledge is impossible. We will also examine the contributions of the Austrian philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein on the possibility of global rational evaluation.
Name: Skepticism as a Way of Life
Description:What does Skepticism have to do with "the good life"? In this module we will learn from Aristotle, an Ancient philosopher that believed that the good life is a life of virtue. We will explore how intellectual vices and virtues go hand-in-hand with moderate Skepticism.
Skepticism is about doubt, and doubt is everywhere in the world around us today. There are doubts about whether man-made climate change is real, whether vaccinations are harmful, whether we can trust our politicians or our media, and so on. When is such skepticism warranted, and when does it stray into unreasonable territory? How widespread can such skepticism get while still being coherent? How might a radical skepticism have pernicious social consequences, such as by leading to relativism (and just what is relativism, and what is problematic about it)? These are all questions that we will be engaging with in this course Along the way we will consider some important philosophical issues, such as what the nature of knowledge is, whether there are any good arguments that show that knowledge is impossible, and how a moderate skepticism might accord with an ancient conception of the good life of human flourishing, one that essentially involves the intellectual virtues. This course is aimed at anyone who is interested in learning more about philosophy, along with those who are looking for strategies to combat extremism in their communities. Using these approaches, no matter what your skill levels in topics you would like to master, you can change your thinking and change your life. In this course, learners will: Explore the concept of Skepticism Discuss the role of Skepticism in contemporary society Identify common responses to Skepticism Compare/Contrast various forms of Skepticism Apply knowledge of Skepticism to form a personal stance Recognize why knowledge is more than just true belief
