Pyrrhonian Skepticism Meets Speech-Act Theory

Turri, J. (2012). Pyrrhonian skepticism meets speech-act theory. International Journal for the Study of Skepticism, 2(2), 83–98.

This paper applies speech-act theory to craft a new response to Pyrrhonian skepticism and diagnose its appeal. Carefully distinguishing between different levels of language-use and noting their interrelations can help us identify a subtle mistake in a key Pyrrhonian argument.
