The argument against skepticism relying on content externalism, which was made famous by Hilary Putnam, has been considered inconclusive by many philosophers. However, some believe that this argument has precluded the possibility of skeptical hypotheses. These hypotheses typically are fictional scenarios where a deceptive power makes your experiences indistinguishable from those you would have if you were not in such a scenario, making most of your justified belief false. Some philosophers, such as Anthony Brueckner and Jon Altschul, have taken this problem seriously and, in response to Putnam, have developed an alternative to the argument from ignorance: the piecemeal fashion strategy. I wish to defend, contra Brueckner and Altschul, the idea that some skeptical hypotheses remain untouched by content externalism, making the piecemeal fashion strategy obsolete.

Au cours de ce texte, je présente d’abord le contenu du livre de Pierre Morency et de Valérie Fontaine, Demande et reçois, chapitre par chapitre. À l’aide d’une série d’affirmations fallacieuses, l’auteur tente de convaincre les jeunes adolescents qu’ils peuvent obtenir tout ce qu’ils désirent. Comment? Il suffit de le demander en évitant de douter, et surtout de laisser de côté tout esprit critique. La deuxième partie comporte six réflexions supplémentaires sur le contenu de ce livre, dont certaines à connotation éthique.
