And: Do we have any of it? The first question asks after the nature of a concept; the second involves grappling with the skeptic, who believes that no one knows anything. This collection of original essays addresses the themes of knowledge and skepticism, offering both contemporary epistemological analysis and historical perspectives from leading philosophers and rising scholars. Contributors first consider knowledge: the intrinsic nature of knowledge in particular, aspects of what distinguishes knowledge from true belief; the extrinsic examination of knowledge, focusing on contextualist accounts; and types of knowledge, specifically perceptual, introspective, and rational knowledge. The final chapters offer various perspectives on skepticism. Knowledge and Skepticism provides an eclectic yet coherent set of essays by distinguished scholars and important new voices. The cutting-edge nature of its contributions and its interdisciplinary character make it a valuable resource for a wide audience, for philosophers of language as well as for epistemologists, and for psychologists, decision theorists, historians, and students at both the advanced undergraduate and graduate levels.Topics in contemporary philosophy.Knowledge, Theory ofCongressesSkepticismCongressesKnowledge, Theory ofSkepticism121Campbell Joseph Keim1958-1619100O'Rourke Michael1963-753798Silverstein Harry1942-1619101Inland Northwest Philosophy Conference(7th :2004 :Pullman, Wash.; Moscow, Idaho)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910820586703321Knowledge and skepticism3959989UNINA
