Khan Academy: Theory of Knowledge: The Problem of Skepticism

Curated by ACT

Is knowledge humanly possible? In this video, Jennifer Nagel (University of Toronto) looks at skeptical arguments, starting with Ancient Greek and Chinese philosophy, and moving forward into contemporary brain-in-a-vat scenarios. We'll review a variety of reasons to worry that knowledge might be impossible, and we'll examine the difference between global and local forms of skepticism.
