I still had this itch for certainty, but in time it died down. I decided that suspending judgement on these absolutes might be the best way for me. I decided to just suspend judgement and rely on practical criteria. One way of categorizing philosophies is according to how they approach the issue of the one true way, certainty, real knowledge, absolute truth. Dogmatists believe they have found this truth.
Nihilists believe there is no such truth.
And skeptics suspend judgement and turn to practical criteria. Dogmatists are like skeptics in the sense that they are skeptical of something, namely, views that contradict their dogma. For example, extreme rationalists may think of themselves as skeptics because they are skeptical of religious claims or fringe science, but they are not skeptics in the pyrrhonist sense. They are just counter-dogmatists. Nihilists seem like skeptics because they deny absolute truth, but they are absolutely sure that it is true that there is no absolute truth.
