| Summary: | This book of original papers offers fresh approaches to skepticism-a topic in philosophy with a noble two-millennia history; and one that even inaugurated modern philosophy in Descartes's Meditations . Particularly with the rise of scientific forms or models of philosophy, skepticism today is often treated as a dead-end not worthy of serious reflection. In contrast to this prevailing attitude, the skepticisms discussed in these pages are alive . Here are assembled leading thinkers who claim at least some forms of skepticism to be true (e.g. skepticism about ethics or metaphysics) or insightful enough to be a lasting source of philosophical enlightenment and inspiration. |
