Description

Scepticism by Neil Gascoigne explores the history of scepticism, tracing its development from ancient to modern times. The author examines the work of key philosophers, including Descartes, Hume, and Kant, to understand how sceptical themes have evolved over time. At the heart of scepticism is a challenge to epistemology, questioning the possibility of empirical knowledge and epistemological theory. Gascoigne delves into two contemporary trends: the shift away from foundationalist epistemology and the resistance to this shift from non-naturalistically inclined philosophers. By contextualizing the debate, the author provides a deeper understanding of sceptical reasoning, the structure of sceptical arguments, and the significance of scepticism to philosophical inquiry. This book offers a nuanced analysis of scepticism, providing students with a better appreciation of the methodological importance of sceptical reasoning and an analytic understanding of sceptical arguments.
