THE LOCAL NATURE OF MODERN MORAL SKEPTICISM

PACIFIC PHILOSOPHICAL QUARTERLY, Issue 3 2006
DIEGO E. MACHUCA
Richard Bett, on the other hand, has argued that the existence of such a contrast is not a necessary condition for espousing that kind of moral skepticism. My purpose in this paper is to show that Bett fails to make a good case against Annas' thesis. To accomplish this, it will be helpful to consider the Pyrrhonean attitude towards morality as expounded in Sextus Empiricus' work. [source]
