In the last 25 years, there has been a keen focus of interest on the problem, with a number of new insights by the best contemporary epistemologists and philosophers of\u003cbr\u003emind. Anthony Brueckner is recognized as one of the leading contemporary investigators of the problem of skepticism. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eEssays on Skepticism \u003c\/em\u003ecollects Brueckner's most important work in this area, providing a connected and comprehensive guide to the complex state of play on this intensively studied area of philosophy.
