AB Sceptical concerns baffle us because they go against the widespread conviction that wemust have a great deal of knowledge of our world. Nevertheless, in a society that isgrowing more polarised by the minute—where misinformation and partisanship lurkeverywhere and are amplified in echo chambers—taking a sceptical way of thinkingbased on the justified suspension of judgement may be reasonable. Accordingly, thismaster's thesis is a bet in favour of a sceptical attitude. The essay aims to groundPyrrhonian scepticism from an analytic philosophy standpoint. To this end, Pyrrho’s bestknownargument is reconstructed into a theory for scepticism based on a modal realistframework and the Wittgensteinian notion of hinge propositions. As a result, a novelaccount of Pyrrhonian scepticism—which could be called “Analytic Pyrrhonism”—isoffered. Notwithstanding the proposed scope of research, the grounds and conclusionsof this essay might also be compatible with the sceptical principles and goals of AncientPyrrhonism.
