Science raises interesting questions about what we\u2019re able\nto know. Does it describe only how things appear to us? Or does it describe\nreality itself?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter S. Fosl, a Transylvania University philosophy\nprofessor, tackles topics like this in his upcoming book “Hume\u2019s\nScepticism<\/a>.” The work, which Edinburgh University Press will release\nNov. 1, has been a long time in the making. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“A lot of things are coming to fruition that I’ve\nliterally been working on for decades,” Fosl said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

David Hume, who lived in Scotland during the 18th century,\nis regarded by many to be the greatest philosopher of the English language \u2014\nand one of the most important figures in developing the theories of empiricism\nand skepticism, Fosl said. By empiricism, he means the importance of grounding\nour understanding of the world and the self in what we experience. And by\nskepticism, he means limiting and questioning the project of knowing reality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Hume \u2014 as well as for science \u2014 there is a tension\nbetween empiricism and skepticism. In fact, Hume’s radical skepticism calls the\nwhole project of science into question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Fosl said there are scientists who incorporate a skepticism Hume would approve of. They see their own theories, forged through evidence and observations, as the best they have at the moment. And they know full well something better might come along and suspend judgment about whether the current findings of science are finally true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fosl’s book provides a history of skepticism \u2014 from its\norigins in ancient Greece through the Enlightenment. Fosl goes on to dig into\nHume’s texts to show how they can be understood in terms of skeptical\nphilosophy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2013-14, Fosl spent a sabbatical as the David Hume fellow at the University of Edinburgh, a school Hume attended. “It was really inspiring,” he said. “That was where I really buckled down and just dug into this thing night and day.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another of Fosl’s books, “David\nHume on God<\/a>,” came out this past June. He co-edited the work with\nDavid Purdie, with the University of Edinburgh’s Institute for Advanced Studies\nin the Humanities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fosl, who earned his Ph.D. from Emory University, also\nco-wrote a series\nof toolkits<\/a> on various philosophical topics and edited \u201cThe\nBig Lebowski and Philosophy: Keeping Your Mind Limber with Abiding Wisdom<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\u2019s come a long way in the past 30 years \u2014 from subsisting\non tea and cheddar cheese while mining Hume\u2019s work as a graduate Fulbright student\nin Edinburgh, to having a sold-out book release event for “David Hume on\nGod” at the National Library of Scotland this past month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It’s a fulfilling moment for me,” Fosl said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
