The Ethics of Doubt - Prof. Genia Schönbaumsfeld

In this episode, Genia Schoenbaumsfeld explains the Ethics of Doubt project, which studies the relationship between skepticism and virtue epistemology. We explore how doubt functions in belief formation, including Søren Kierkegaard’s idea that doubt arises from anxiety, and discuss Ludwig Wittgenstein’s ideas such as picture theory and language games. We also talk about intellectual courage and curiosity as virtues that help protect us from misinformation.
