 "Skepticism
or scepticism (see
spelling differences) has many definitions, but generally refers to any
questioning attitude towards knowledge, facts, or opinions/beliefs stated as
facts, or doubt
regarding claims that are taken for granted elsewhere. The word may characterize
a position on a single matter, as in the case of religious skepticism, which is

philosophical skepticism is an overall approach that requires all
information to be well supported by evidence. Skeptics may even doubt the
reliability of their own senses. Classical philosophical skepticism derives from
the 'Skeptikoi', a school who "asserted nothing". Adherents of
Pyrrhonism,
for instance, suspend judgment in investigations
