Research project

The Ethics of Doubt: Kierkegaard, Scepticism and Conspiracy Theory

Project overview

Genia Schönbaumsfeld’s €2.5m (UKRI funded) ERC Advanced grant project seeks to break new ground by bringing Kierkegaard’s existential conception of doubt into dialogue with the contemporary mainstream, focussing on the relation between the intellectual vices, such as a lack of intellectual courage, and various forms of scepticism, both inside and outside of academia.
