  This controversy about burden of proof might be resolved by distinguishing dogmatic moral skepticism from Pyrrhonian moral skepticism. Dogmatic skeptics about justified moral belief make a universal claim that conflicts with common sense, so they seem to have the burden of arguing for their claim. In contrast, Pyrrhonian moral skeptics neither make nor deny any claim about the epistemic status of any moral belief. They simply raise doubts about whether moral beliefs are ever justified. This difference suggests that Pyrrhonian moral skeptics do not take on any or as much burden of proof as do dogmatic skeptics about justified moral belief.
