It either means one of the many academic logics , or it means the perceived rational method by which we make decisions . The second one is a bit vague , and so that ' s probably the one Athene actually cares about , since he seems to have a hard time explaining it . What I mean by this , is that humans have a decent predictive power without the need of actual academic logic . This kind of thought , which we normally call rationality , allows us to be successful in achieving our goals . Pick either definition , as the definition of logic for us . Skepticism is taking a rational argument and approaching it from the point of view that , at the very least , it could be wrong . Doubt in particular self doubt for me is the idea that you could be wrong about anything . They really end up being the same thing in this context , but I included both words to convey the point more effectively . So that is the difference . A philosophy based around rationality , and a philosophy based around doubt . I have to make decisions in order to continue living , the rationalist wants those decisions to always be rational modulo their description of rational , I don ' t care , I just want every decisions to be suspect doubted for however much time is available and in retrospect .
