Remarks on Conversation and Negotiated Collective Belief
Gilbert (1989) and Gilbert and Priest (2013) have argued that paradigmatic conversations involve a collectivity of the conversers who participate in the conversation, in the sense that the conversers put forth and negotiate proposals of propositions to be collectively believed by them. Here I explore the plausibility of this Negotiated Collective Belief (NCB) thesis. I begin by supporting a more basic claim, that the nature of conversation itself…
Hume's Epistemology in the Treatise
Frederick F. Schmitt offers a new account of Hume's epistemology in 'A Treatise of Human Nature', which alternately manifests scepticism, empiricism, and naturalism.

Scepticism and Reasonable Doubt
Charting the development of the British tradition of naturalism from the 17th to the 19th century, this book provides fascinating insight into a wide range of thinkers, both Catholic and Protestant, who explored the themes of proof, practice, and the role of common sense. Reappraising what these thinkers can teach us about the relations between belief, action, and skepticism, Ferreira contributes to the philosophical study of naturalist replies t…
