Description

Skepticism is one of the perennial problems of philosophy: from antiquity, to the early modern period of Descartes and Hume, and right through to the present day. It remains a fundamental and widely studied topic and, as Annalisa Coliva and Duncan Pritchard show in Skepticism, it presents us with a paradox with important ramifications not only for epistemology but also for many other core areas of philosophy. Contents Acknowledgments Introduction 1 The skeptical paradox 2 Content and epistemic externalism 3 The denial of the Closure principle and contextualism 4 Hinge epistemology and Closure-based Cartesian skepticism 5 Epistemological disjunctivism 6 Moore, liberals, and conservatives 7 Varieties of hinge epistemology: naturalism, contextualism, and constitutivism Glossary Bibliography Index
