UMIARKOWANA OBRONA SCEPTYCYZMU
THE MODERN DEFENSE OF SKEPTICISM

Summary/Abstract: The article is an attempt to present a credibility of the philosophical skepticism and its intrinsic connection to wisdom. In the paper I explain basic presupposition of the tradition and then revise them within the framework a few modern skeptical clues (rhetorical nature of all argumentation, L. Wittgenstein's language games, hermeneutic concept of knowledge). Taking into considerations widespread accusations against the philosophical skepticism, I reveal their limitations, doing it in a reference to Sextus Empiricus' original remarks. In the last section of the paper I present the skeptical tradition as a certain way of being, which has some significant moral qualities.
