Book Description:
This ground breaking collection of essays puts an end to the common notion that Kant solved the problem of skepticism. Commemorating C.F. Staudlin, the first historian of skepticism (1794), scholars of various disciplines in unique collaboration disclose the continuing importance of the sceptical tradition in Germany, France, and Britain. Their wide ranging studies cover Hume, Kant, and the philosophical situation in Germany both before and after Kant, particularly the all but forgotten Staudlin himself. But they also investigate the role of skepticism in the political thought of Burke and Tocqueville, in de the development of mathematical thought (Montucla) and in science (Alexander von Humboldt, Laplace, and others), and in the context of such social issues as smallpox inoculation, suicide, and capital punishment. The collection fills a major gap in the history of skepticism, emphasizing the significance of skepticism for modern life and philosophy. It is of special interest to philosophers, historians, and political scientists.
