SEP "Epistemology". Unger advocates for radical skepticism, the view that no one can truly know anything. A person can only be said to know something if they are certain of something. They can be certain of fact x only if there is no fact y about which they can be more certain. Since a person cannot be said to know anything, nothing cane be true or false. A person cannot have an emotional attachment to anything. Unger argues that philosophy of language and mind will have to radically be revised in light of his conclusion. Near Fine / Near Fine.
