13. Knowledge Criteria / D. Scepticism / 6. Scepticism Critique

3880	Logical positivism avoids scepticism, by closing the gap between evidence and conclusion [Scruton]
	Full Idea: If the evidence for p is q, and that is the only evidence there is or can be, then 'p' means q. Hence there is no gap between evidence and conclusion, and the sceptical problem does not arise.
	From: Roger Scruton (Modern Philosophy:introduction and survey [1994], 3.2)
