Abstract

It means to approach how the knowledge's examination in the Phenomenology of Spirit is structured with reference to the critique to the notion of criterion of truth in this ancient skepticism. We will seek to understand how Hegel has in mind such criticism when happens the constitution of the examination of knowledge and what kind of criterion could guide the examination. In addition, we intend to investigate what is Hegel's appropriation of skepticism to this method of examination of knowledge, while there are also present a critique of ancient skepticism. (AU)
