Abstract

This paper argues that Sceptic philosophers’ search for the truth is different from the Dogmatic one: the Sceptics indeed investigate the truth of Dogmatic philosophers’ theories.  That is not inconsistent with a genuine search for truth, since the Sceptics do not maintain that the Dogmatic philosophical theories are necessarily false
