Desafios céticos e o debate internalismo <i>versus</i> externalismo em epistemologia

Abstract

In this essay, I intend to (1) show some advantages of presenting skepticism by means of a general skeptical argument, (2) discuss the closure principle implicit in such an argument, (3) suggest that externalist reliabilism is unable to account for what is implied by this general argument, and (4) maintain that an internalist defeasibility theory is the one best suited for assessing skeptical challenges.
