Knowledge and Skepticism brings together new essays by leading philosophers who explore fundamental questions in epistemology from both historical and contemporary perspectives. The volume addresses two central concerns: what exactly counts as knowledge and whether we can claim to know anything at all. Contributors examine the nature of knowledge itself, how it differs from mere true belief, and various contextualist and analytical approaches to understanding knowledge. The final chapters turn to skepticism, offering diverse philosophical responses to the challenge that we might know nothing. The collection draws on a wide range of thinkers and methodologies, making it a significant resource for scholars and students interested not only in epistemology but in philosophy of language, psychology, decision theory, and other related fields.
