This book is concerned with the question of whether there is a
philosopically satisfactory rebuttal of scepticism. The hope of
providing such a rebuttal is seen as depending upon our achieving a
clear conception of the sceptical argument and of the philosophical
context in which it is constructed. Marie McGinn argues that the
argument is unanswerable, and that the sceptical conclusion is both
beyond belief and in outright conflict with ordinary practice. She
suggests that this makes both scepticism and common sense
philosophically unsatisfactory positions. "Sense and Certainty"
aims to construct a non-dogmatic defence of common sense. It tries
to show why the absence of justification for the judgements of
common sense, which the sceptic reveals, does not invalidate them.
In this, it takes issue with some of the most important work in
this area.
