Scepticism Comes Alive

In epistemology the nagging voice of the sceptic has always been present, whispering that You can't know that you have hands, or just about anything else, because for all you know your whole life is a dream. Philosophers have recently devised ingenious ways to argue against and silence this voice, but Bryan Frances now presents a highly original argument template for generating new kinds of radical scepticism, ones that hold even if all the clever anti-sceptical fixes defeat the traditional sceptic. Sharp, witty, and fun to read, Scepticism Comes Alive will be highly provocative for anyone interested in knowledge and its limits.
