It remains a fundamental and widely studied topic and, as Annalisa Coliva and Duncan Pritchard show in \u003cem\u003eSkepticism\u003c\/em\u003e, it presents us with a paradox with important ramifications not only for epistemology but also for many other core areas of philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book provides a thorough grounding in contemporary debates about skepticism, exploring the following key topics: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe core skeptical arguments, with a particular focus on Cartesian and Humean radical skepticism \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe epistemic principles that are held to underlie skeptical arguments, such as the Closure and Underdetermination principles\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe content externalism of Putnam, Davidson, and Chalmers, and how it might help us respond to radical skepticism \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe epistemic externalism\/internalism distinction and how it relates to the skeptical problematic \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003econtextualism in epistemology and its anti-skeptical import \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe various interpretations of a Wittgensteinian hinge epistemology \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe viability of epistemological disjunctivism, including whether it can be combined with hinge epistemology as part of a dual response to radical skepticism \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eliberal and conservative responses to the Humean skeptical paradox. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBoth authors are prominent figures who work on skepticism, and so one novelty of the book is that it provides an insight into their own contrasting responses to this philosophical difficulty.
