2. Philosophical skepticism isn't concerned with ordinary everyday life. Instead, it's interested in what evidence we have for our beliefs, and whether this evidence is adequate to convert our beliefs into knowledge. It tries to find an adequate and consistent account of knowledge about the world, and concludes that, given that different things appear differently to different people at different times and in different cultures, these conflicting appearances cannot all be equally true. In its extreme form, scepticism results in a complete suspension of judgement because the skeptic is searching for a set of criteria that would determine which of the conflicting views should be accepted, but finds that none are adequate.

저 구문이 해석이 어렵네요 ㅠㅠ Account of knowledge 가 어떤 의미로 쓰인 건지 모르겠고 앞의 형용사와도 연결이 안되네요!

그리고 제목 찾기 지문이었는데 답이 'Questioning Belief' 였는데 왜 답인지 이해가 안가요 ㅠㅠ

도와주시면 감사합니다 :)
