The Abstract of the Talk: I consider and offer replies to lines of thought in support of some form of metaphysical skepticism, according to which metaphysical claims---e.g., the claim that universals serve as the basis for resemblance between objects, or that sets necessarily exist---are meaningless, false, epistemically inaccessible, or at best pragmatically accepted. The talk is part of the Lugano Philosophy Colloquia - a series of events organized by: - Master in Philosophy at USI - Ratio – Philosophical Association - Istituto di Studi Filosofici, Lugano If you want to stay updated on our incoming philosophical events, please check our page https://www.usi.ch/en/feeds/17840 <https://www.usi.ch/en/feeds/17840> and subscribe to our mailing list <https://lists.usi.ch/mailman3/postorius/lists/philosophy.lugano.lists.usi.ch/>.
