The Significance of Philosophical Scepticism by Barry Stroud

The Significance of Philosophical Scepticism by Barry Stroud

This book raises questions about the nature of philosophy by examining the source and significance of one central philosophical problem: how can we know anything about the world around us? Stroud discusses and criticizes the views of such philosophers as Descartes, Kant, J.L. Austin, G.E. Moore, R. Carnap, W.V. Quine, and others.

A very good bookAnyone interested in skepticism will want to read it....The book, though of great interest to professionals, could also be used...as a central text in epistemology courses at any level. * Teaching Philosophy *
