Are Humean Beliefs Pyrrhonian Appearances? : Hume's Critique of Pyrrhonism Revisited

Original language description

The aim of the paper is to reassess Hume's handling of scepticism in its Pyrrhonian form. I argue that, contrary to what Hume declares, his own philosophy comes close to what Sextus Empiricus sets out as the essential moments of the Pyrrhonian ?????, atleast in one crucial respect: I contend that Hume's conception of belief is in line with precisely the type of doxastic state which Sextus ascribes to the Pyrrhonian sceptic as appropriate for ?following appearances?. Then I show that if such an affinityis established, Hume's attack against Pyrrhonism, launched in Enquiry XII, II, is rendered toothless.
