Skepticism throughout the entire process of western philosophy, is a special kind of philosophical theory form, although in the different historical period have different forms of expression, but in the development of western philosophy it has played an important role, for human knowledge and the development of ideas have a far-reaching influence. At present, including both domestic and abroad researchers are mostly to adopt a criticism and negative attitude, or conduct the periodically theoretical achievements of research and analysis, few people place it in a historical process, therefore, how to discuss and interpret it from the overall and macroscopic, discuss it ship in history and it's significance are particularly important.Skepticism as a special forms of theory, its development and evolution has a historical process, explores the skepticism in ancient wise of root, traced back, on the basis of the detailed analysis and studies the wise and its representative figures Gorgia holdings of the skepticism viewpoint, discusses the history position of this period's skepticism. Discussed exhaustively has gradually become system's skepticism, namely late Greek and Roman skepticism, and analyzed Pyrrho who is the skepticism founder's skepticism of suspended judgment, and explains the successors of skepticism eurosceptics -- new further inheriting and developing, make its gradually refinement and systematized, clarify its position in philosophical history. Achieved finally understands and grasps the scepticism macroscopically as a whole, in ancient times's source this goal, made an upholstery for the following further discussion and the research.Through two phases of development and evolution in the ancient times, skepticism has developed into a kind of mature philosophical theory form in modern times , whether as a method's skepticism of Descartes, or Hume's "empirical skepticism" and Kant's "rational criticism skepticism", through its rich ideological content and historical contribution reveals the skeptical vigorous vitality, pour fresh blood and vigor into the development of whole philosophy, promote the further development of philosophical theory, although in modern times later, skepticism's status and influence declined, but the science theory and the new-kantian of modern western philosophy take full advantage of the new scientific achievement, collecting, interpretation, demonstration and evaluation, and extended, developed the skepticism. Finally, formed a new theory and method, "resurrection" Hume and Kant skepticism.As a negative philosophical ideas, skepticism passes through the whole development process of western philosophy, although in different stage of development, it has special reason which it produces, there are different forms of expression, but we can still make a rational analysis from the general sense of its. The scepticism epistemology root lay in it to cut apart the relationship between subject and object, make the phenomenon and nature, perceptual cognition and rational cognition separation. Skepticism as the necessity outcome of the development of human knowledge, realized the critical spirit self improvement; Extreme skepticism and mild skepticism is its basic theoretical form; As a special forms of theory, it has special research objects, we can't simple belong it to the materialism or the idealism, or belong it to cognition or agnosticism. Skepticism promoted the progress and development of philosophy, realize the epistemology of steering, but it ignored the understanding of the subjective initiative and the disadvantage of man's free and overall development.As a scientific world outlook and methodology, marxist philosophy starting from the scientific practice viewpoint, has carried on the correct analysis, the appraisal to the scepticism, and eliminate the scepticism's unreasonable factor. Explains the decisive role of practice in understanding the practice of skepticism, denied the important role in understanding the practice gives judgment; analysis the dialectical relationship between the perceptual cognition and rational cognition correctly, expounds the correct view of truth, give the critique to the skepticism in the understanding method's mistake ; Pointing out and demonstrates that practice is the sole criterion for testing truth, truth standard of skepticism wrong view given criticism.Although skepticism is essentially an error in terms of epistemology, and a kind of wrong philosophical theory form, it still has a positive effect in the development of philosophy, anyone can't deny it. Therefore, the current research is done in the theory, an appropriate analyses and explains is helpful for our profoundly understanding and knowledge, and to give skepticism a proper philosophical home and position, to our knowledge and solve problems, and to promote the development of science as well as the Chinese characteristic socialism modernization has great significance and inspiration.
