TRUE

First published Sat Dec 8, 2001; substantive revision Thu Dec 5, 2019

Philosophical skepticism is interesting because there are intriguing arguments for it despite its initial implausibility. Many contemporary epistemological positions can be fruitfully presented as responding to some aspect of those arguments. For example, questions regarding principles of epistemic closure and transmission are closely related to the discussion of what we will call Cartesian Skepticism, as are views according to which we are entitled to dismiss skeptical hypotheses even though we do not have evidence against them. The traditional issue of the structure of knowledge and justification, engendering Foundationalism, Coherentism, and Infinitism, can be seen as resulting from one main argument for what we will call Pyrrhonian Skepticism. In what follows we present these two forms of skepticism and assess the main arguments for them.

1. Knowledge, Justification and Skepticism

2. Two Basic Forms of Philosophical Skepticism

3. The Argument for Cartesian Skepticism Employing the Closure Principle

3.1 Consideration of CP1

4. Contextualism

5. Pyrrhonian Skepticism

5.1 Rejecting Premise 2: Foundationalism

5.2 Rejecting Premise 5: Infinitism

5.3 Rejecting Premise 3: Coherentism

5.4 Rejecting Premise 7: Positism

5.5 Rejecting More than One Premise

1. Knowledge, Justification and Skepticism

Philosophically interesting forms of skepticism claim that we do not know propositions which we ordinarily think we do know. We should distinguish such skepticism from the ordinary kind, the claim that we do not know propositions which we would gladly grant not to know. Thus, it is a form of ordinary skepticism to say that we do not know that there are an even number of stars in the Milky Way, but it is a form of philosophical skepticism to say that we do not know that the sun will come out tomorrow. Even though our interest is in philosophical skepticism, we can start our inquiry by thinking about ordinary skepticism.

Bingel [31]

Answer:

All the countries that were named presented strong dominions by those presidents or during those presidencies, they were very marked presidencies since they were strongly related to the Second World War.

Among all these presidencies or presidents they were united by a common factor that was the movement of the great masses, the great warlike powers that the countries acquired, and the transcendence or milestone that these humans left in world history.

The dictatorial regime of the 20th century is the name that was assigned to this stage where these presidents were highly appointed, some believe that they were doctrines or dictatorships, others believe that they were great teachings not to re-elect similar political profiles for the life of their country.

These presidents consisted of ease in carrying out acts of war or violence, good persecution campaigns, great influences on society and extreme fanaticism, racism against certain religions or cultures, the cult of personality, "great" self-image, and world domination.

Explanation:

According to Lenin's opinion, terror legitimized the state. Stalin dominated this concept when he eliminated the so-called (enemies of the state), including members of the political bureau (politburo), the innocent detention quotas, and the entire agricultural class from the Soviet Union. Six to nine million people lost their lives during Stalin's purges or famous cleanups.

Mussolini organized the Italian fascist terrorist group Fasci di combattimento after the First World War. Once in charge of the country, he eliminated his close comrades and is even rumored to be his own son-in-law. He arrested Jews and sent thousands of them to an end in the Nazi concentration camps in Austria. Hitler, in his Mein Kampf manifesto, had set forth his long-term goal of (cleansing) Germany (and the world) of Jews, as he considered them a religion inferior in abilities or capabilities ... Marxists, Slavs, and every group that he considered non-Aryan and / or inferior. Eleven to twelve million died under his hand (more than half of them, Jews).

As for Stalin the rapid economic, social and political changes of the Stalinist era, millions of people were sent to Gulag labor camps as punishment, and millions were deported and exiled to remote areas of the Soviet Union.

As for Franco, he was a military dictator who imposed a regime that as a whole is known as Francoism, characterized by the absence of a clearly defined ideology beyond his proclaimed national Catholicism.

Lenin was a revolutionary, communist, philosopher, and politician who practiced politically Marxist, his contributions to Marxist thought are called Leninism.
