جذور الشك المعرفي عند فلاسفة اليونان والإسلام

Abstract

It is true that ancient knowledge accumulated through daily practical experiences, which were often driven either by chance or by the pursuit of fulfilling specific needs. Despite this accumulation of knowledge and skills, the development of doubt in human thought did not fully emerge in its proper philosophical form until René Descartes in the early modern era. Nevertheless, Greek philosophy had already recognized various forms of doubt, as did the tradition of Islamic philosophical thought, where several thinkers engaged with epistemological skepticism.
This study aims to examine the concept of epistemological doubt in its earliest roots, particularly among Greek philosophers and Islamic thinkers. The objective is to explore the significance and role of doubt in challenging established knowledge as a pathway toward achieving certainty.
