MIC academic’s new book talks Greek philosophy

A NEW book from the head of MIC’s philosophy department, Dr Daniel Vázquez, tackles the suspension of belief in ancient Greek philosophy.

The publication from Dr Vázquez, entitled Suspension of Belief, offers a systematic outline of ancient conceptions and uses of suspension of belief while engaging with contemporary philosophy.

According to Dr Vázquez: “We get constantly bombarded with conflicting information, arguments, and opinions. People follow different principles and criteria to judge what to trust and reject. Sometimes, however, we form beliefs without sufficient grounds, and at other times we disbelieve when we ought to believe”.

Suspension of Belief, published by Cambridge University Press, is available on cambridge.org.
