This volume presents a dozen essays by prominent contemporary
epistemologists providing a careful examination and critical
evaluation of traditional epistemic internalism. Unlike competing
versions of internalism, the guiding principle of traditional
internalism is not to accommodate our commonsense nonskeptical
views about the rationality of our ordinary beliefs, but to
emphasize the need for strong skepticism-resistant intellectual
assurance that our ordinary beliefs (perceptual and otherwise) are
true. The essays focus on what traditional internalism has to say
about the following three topics: the nature of non-inferentially
justified belief, the nature of inferentially justified belief, and
the best way to respond to skepticism. The end product is a volume
containing many probing objections to traditional internalism,
pushing its proponents to provide creative new defenses if they
want this old-fashioned view to survive in the modern world.
