To better understand the contemporary position of this important philosophical subject, Allan Hazlett introduces a range of topics, including: - Ancient skepticism- skeptical arguments in the work of Hume and Descartes - Cartesian skepticism in contemporary epistemology - anti-skeptical strategies, including Mooreanism, nonclosure, and contextualism - additional varieties of skepticism - the practical consequences of Cartesian skepticism Presenting a comprehensive survey of the key problems, arguments, and theories, together with additional readings, A Critical Introduction to Skepticism is an ideal guide for students and scholars looking to understand how skepticism is shaping epistemology today. |
