Miščević, Nenad2023-06-162023-06-1620230353-5150, 1874-634910.1007/s12136-022-00538-9http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14018/13941In his important and original book, Knowing and Checking, Guido Melchior provides advice on how to tackle skepticism. I argue that his analysis points to a possible virtue-theoretic answer to skepticism, which I call the restraint solution, i.e., activate your self-trust and restrain your inquisitiveness! It leads one to the ideal of bounded reflective curiosity: when it comes to knowledge, we should restrain our second-order, reflective curiosity and stay content with the somewhat Moorean trust in ordinary everyday beliefs. We can preserve our ordinary, first-order vigilance and investigative interest (curiosity) without falling into skeptical over-caution which is basically a reflective, second-order vicious attitude.engCC BY 4.0https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Journal articlehttps://link.springer.com/10.1007/s12136-022-00538-9
