(Intro & piano music)
Σκέπτομαι (skeptome) in Ancient Greek and Σκέφτομαι (skeftome) in modern, means
' I think' . The noun is Σκέψη (skepsi). In Ancient Greece, being a Σκεπτικιστής (skeptikistis) meant you belonged to a philosophical group that doubted human knowledge can be obtained. Starting from Pyrros, to Descartes's attempt to contradict it, to Hume's partial support (I say partial as he worked on the modern version rather than the ancient Greek one) scepticism has gone through many meanings to reach today's, everyday, definition of 'taking everything you hear with a pinch of salt' . In English, it came from the Latin Scepticus around 1580. Sometimes it's spelled with a K and others with a C , both are correct. ΣΚΕΠΤΙΚΙΣΜΟΣ/SCEPTICISM
