Skepticism: From Antiquity to the Present is an authoritative and
up-to-date survey of the entire history of skepticism. Divided
chronologically into ancient, medieval, renaissance, modern, and
contemporary periods, and featuring 50 specially-commissioned
chapters from leading philosophers, this comprehensive volume is
the first of its kind. By exploring each of the distinct traditions
and providing expert insights, this extensive reference work: -
Covers major thinkers such as Sextus Empiricus, Cicero, Descartes,
Hume, Spinoza, and Wittgenstein. - Acknowledges the influence of
ancient skeptical traditions on later philosophy and explains why
it is still a fertile topic of inquiry among today's philosophers
and historians of philosophy. - Analyzes various forms of
skepticism including Pyrrhonian, Academic, religious, moral, and
neo-Pyrrhonian. - Addresses issues in contemporary epistemology and
indicates new directions of study. Skepticism, a driving force in
the history of philosophy, remains at the center of debates in
ethics, philosophy of religion, epistemology, and the philosophy of
mind. Skepticism: From Antiquity to the Present is an essential
point of reference for any student, researcher, or practitioner of
philosophy, presenting a systematic and historical survey of this
core philosophical topic.
