Skepticism
To the glossary index · ↑ Top of page
The philosophical position that denies the possibility of truth or knowledge. Hegel criticizes skepticism as performatively self-contradictory (Chap. 1.4): the claim "There is no truth" itself claims to be true.
Origin: Performative contradiction; truth; certainty
In Hegel: *Encyclopedia* §37-39 (positions of thought)
