Must we acknowledge scepticism as an uncontrollable threat to our claims to knowledge? Using the differences of its systematic forms in theoretical and practical philosophy, the author makes an argument for the alternative strategy of integrative antiscepticism which diagnoses philosophical doubt as an indispensable component of human rationality and thus attempts to control it. The investigation is based on the concrete confrontation of pyrrhonic scepticism with Hegel.
