This book presents and analyzes the most important arguments in the
history of Western philosophy'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. It dissects the problems of realism and the
philosophical doubts about the accuracy of the senses. It explores
the ancient argument against a criterion of knowledge, Descartes'
skeptical arguments, and skeptical arguments applied to inductive
inference and self-knowledge. It uses Moore's proof of an external
world and the reliabilist conception of knowledge to illustrate
that the traditional skeptical arguments fail to meet their mark.
The book concludes with a chapter on the problem of knowledge,
which leaves the reader with an understanding of the strength of
skeptical arguments as well as their limits.
