| Synopsis: |
This book presents and analyzes the most important arguments in the history of Western philosophya s skeptical tradition. It demonstrates that, although powerful, these arguments are quite limited and fail to prove their core assertion that knowledge is beyond our reach. * Argues that skepticism is mistaken and that knowledge is possible * Dissects the problems of realism and the philosophical doubts about the accuracy of the senses * Explores the ancient argument against a criterion of knowledge, Descartesa skeptical arguments, and skeptical arguments applied to inductive inference and self--knowledge * Uses Moorea s proof of an external world and the reliabilist conception of knowledge to illustrate that the traditional skeptical arguments fail to meet their mark. |
