Charles Landesman's work, Philosophical Skepticism , draws on a variety of skeptical texts, as well on texts written in opposition to skepticism from Greek philosophy, through the theologies of St. Augustine and Aquinas, up to the philosophy of Donald Davidson, Richard Rorty and other contemporary philosophers. By juxtaposing and comparing the views of such diverse thinkers, the work provides valuable insights into the development and potential of skepticist thought throughout the history of philosophy. It is particularly notable that the work pays its attention to those philosophers influenced by the skeptical tradition while devoting equal attention to prominent proponents of anti-skepticism like Wittgenstein, Quine and the analytic philosophers like Williamson, Saxonhouse and Daniel Dennett, whose work Landesman also touches upon. The essays in this volume shed new light on some philosophers' often vexed relationship to skepticism and will appeal to readers interested in philosophy of language, epistemology, metaphysics and moral philosophy.
