Kierkegaard and Skepticsm
This workshop is part of Professor Genia Schönbaumsfeld's UKRI-funded ERC Advanced grant project "The Ethics of Doubt: Kierkegaard, Scepticism, and Conspiracy Theory" housed by the Department of Philosophy, University of Southampton. The project explores Kierkegaard’s existential conception of doubt and brings it into dialogue with broader philosophical concerns, focusing on the relation between the intellectual vices, such as a lack of intellectual courage, and various forms of scepticism, both inside and outside of academia. The first workshop focuses on Kierkegaard and scepticism.
