Scepsis Scientifica, also known as The Vanity of Dogmatizing, is a philosophical work written by Joseph Glanvill in the 17th century. The book is a defense of skepticism and argues against the idea of dogmatism, which is the belief in the absolute truth of one’s own opinions and beliefs. Glanvill’s argument is that dogmatism is not only intellectually limiting but also dangerous, as it can lead to intolerance and persecution of those who hold different beliefs. The book is divided into two parts. The first part examines the nature of skepticism and its relationship to knowledge and truth. Glanvill argues that skepticism is not a form of ignorance or doubt but rather a method of inquiry that leads to a more comprehensive understanding of the world. The second part of the book focuses on the dangers of dogmatism and the importance of open-mindedness and tolerance. Glanvill argues that dogmatism leads to intellectual stagnation and that true progress can only be achieved through skepticism and a willingness to consider new ideas. Overall, Scepsis Scientifica is an important work in the history of philosophy and a powerful defense of skepticism and open-mindedness. It remains relevant today as a reminder of the dangers of dogmatism and the importance of intellectual humility and curiosity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
