In the history of philosophical thought, few themes loom as large
as skepticism. Skepticism has been the most visible and important
part of debates about knowledge. Skepticism at its most basic
questions our cognitive achievements, challenges our ability to
obtain reliable knowledge; casting doubt on our attempts to seek
and understand the truth about everything from ethics, to other
minds, religious belief, and even the underlying structure of
matter and reality. Since Descartes, the defense of knowledge
against skepticism has been one of the primary tasks not just of
epistemology but philosophy itself.
The Oxford Handbook of Skepticism features twenty-six newly
commissioned chapters by top figures in the field. Part One
contains articles explaining important kinds of skeptical
reasoning. Part Two focuses on responses to skeptical arguments.
Part Three concentrates on important contemporary issues revolving
around skepticism. As the first volume of its kind, the articles
make significant contributions to the debate on skepticism.
