Sommario/riassunto |
|
"Skepticism remains a central and defining issue in epistemology and the wider tradition of Western philosophy. To better understand the contemporary position of this important philosophical subject, Allan Hazlett situates skepticism in its historical context before introducing and analyzing a wide range of approaches and views, including: Cartesian skepticism and the orthodox argument for it Mooreanism and other anti-skeptical strategies additional varieties of skepticism the practical consequences of skepticism Presenting a comprehensive survey of the key problems, arguments and theories together with discussion questions, additional readings and chapter summaries, A Critical Introduction to Skepticism is ideal for students and scholars looking to understand how skepticism is shaping epistemology today."--Bloomsbury Publishing. |
