XENOPHANES’ EPISTEMOLOGY: EMPIRICIST, GLOBAL SKEPTIC, OR BOTH?

In this paper, I consider two interpretations of Xenophanes’ epistemology – that he is an empiricist and that he is a global skeptic. I argue that two these interpretations are not mutually exclusive, and that Xenophanes should, in fact, be thought of as both an empiricist and a global skeptic.
