"A splendidly insightful and original examination of skepticism
from the ancient skeptics through Descartes and Hume to Moore and
Quine, closely argued, but in a clear and accessible manner, so
that both layman and professional should enjoy and profit from this
work. The best book I have read on skepticism." Louis Pojman,
United States Military Academy
"Skepticism is the central issue in epistemology, but often it
is discussed superficially as just a seminar-room puzzle. Landesman
has the philosophical depth and solid historical grasp needed for a
proper treatment of it." Panayot Butchvarov, University of
Iowa
"Landesman has written a well-reasoned book that reveals both
the power of the arguments for skepticism and the limitations of
that position. At its core is an extended discussion of skepticism
regarding the senses and the problem of the external world. This
terrific book should be in all libraries supporting programs in
philosophy." Choice
"This is an excellent introduction to an important topic. Its style makes it accessible to those unfamiliar with the subject, while its content should interest expert and novice alike." Practical Philosophy
