Entre a crítica ao ceticismo e uma filosofia positiva: considerações a partir de 'Ceticismo dogmático e dogmatismo sem dogmas' de Plínio J. Smith

This text develops some philosophical analyses on the complex and rich relationship between skepticism and dogmatism, and has as its starting point Plínio Smith's view expressed in his paper "Dogmatic Skepticism and Dogmatism without Dogmas", which critically discussed some texts I wrote on that subject. My main aim here is to reconsider a problem noted by him in his paper, and, based on this, to advance some new ideas for a critical position on skepticism.
