This treatment of the internalism-externalism debate in contemporary epistemology explores the implications for traditional sceptical concerns. It argues that when one understands these implications, it is possible to see the philosophical usefulness of a foundationalism relying on acquaintance.

Synopsis:

In this excellent treatment of the internalism-externalism debate in contemporary epistemology, Richard Fumerton explores its implications for traditional skeptical concerns. When one fully understands these implications, Fumerton argues, one will see philosophical usefulness of a foundationalism relying on acquaintance. Contending that the externalist response to skepticism is too quick and easy, Fumerton defends a version of internalism, but in doing so puts into stark relief the radically different alternatives for dealing with skepticism that our metaepistemological views force upon us.
