The philosophy of skepticism might be easily equivocated to one who speaks while denying he has a voice, or to one who thinks while doubting that thought is possible. The skeptic contradicts that which is most evident. The closer he leans toward skepticism the more he eschews the real, and then, toppling as if in a drunken stupor, he falls away from reality and so loses something of his mind. He becomes an intellectual lunatic.
