This book develops new techniques in formal epistemology and
applies them to the challenge of Cartesian skepticism. It
introduces two formats of epistemic evaluation that should be of
interest to epistemologists and philosophers of science: the
dual-component format, which evaluates a statement on the basis of
its safety and informativeness, and the relative-divergence format,
which evaluates a probabilistic model on the basis of its
complexity and goodness of fit with data. Tomoji Shogenji shows
that the former lends support to Cartesian skepticism, but the
latter allows us to defeat Cartesian skepticism. Along the way,
Shogenji addresses a number of related issues in epistemology and
philosophy of science, including epistemic circularity, epistemic
closure, and inductive skepticism.
