Description:
In a recent episode of the Thinking Christianly podcast, Stan Wallace and I discuss the problem of skepticism and how there has become a cultural obsession with a narrow definition of certainty.

- Why doubting everything is more dangerous than you think
- What are the different forms of skepticism?
- How should we engage with different kinds of skeptics?
- How can a broad understanding of the history of ideas benefit us when addressing skepticism?
- Is there a legitimate place for skepticism?
- What is the Problem of the Criterion?
- What is the difference between the 'methodist' epistemological approach and the 'particularist' approach to the Problem of the Criterion?
- Why should we reflect on the way we engage with knowledge claims?
- The big three categories in philosophical thought: What is real? What can we know? What should we do?
