Recenzii

A comprehensive, dynamic and complex picture of scepticism in the history and practice of philosophy [which] makes an important contribution to the contemporary debate by providing the reader with a wide-ranging understanding and appreciation of the multifacetedness of scepticism ... A must-have book for philosophers interested in the topic.
Comprehensive, ambitious, authoritative, and judiciously edited by two acknowledged experts in the field, this volume will be an invaluable resource for students and professionals alike. Research on the topic will benefit from this impressive collection of scholarship.
This volume marks a watershed moment. It demonstrates how the study of skepticism has matured so that skepticism is now rightly understood not as a curious but misconceived problem against which proper philosophy can cut its teeth or as a topic of merely antiquarian interest. In the rich and comprehensive essays collected here, an array of leading international scholars explain how powerful currents of skepticism surge across the entirety of philosophical history in ways that still offer resources salient to the central challenges of contemporary philosophical thought today.
This is a uniquely comprehensive collection, comprised of lucid, informative and up to date essays by world renowned experts on their topics. The volume will serve as an indispensable resource for both students and scholars of skepticism, skeptical traditions, and skeptical arguments. The volume is a true tour de force.
