Unnatural Doubts: Epistemological Realism and the Basis of Skepticism Paperback - 1996

by Michael Williams


From the rear cover

"Exceptionally well-argued. . . . Williams's Unnatural Doubts is a major contribution to epistemology--or, rather, to the discussion of the possibility of epistemology. It includes some excellent discussions of Nozick, Dretske, Davidson, and other important contemporary philosophers."--Richard Rorty

"Williams makes a good case for the view that skepticism as it is usually presented and defended is not a presuppositionless doctrine. He argues compellingly that if we examine its presuppositions, then quite often the case made for epistemological skepticism loses much of its persuasiveness. These points are well worth considering and discussing."--Ernest Sosa

Description:
Paperback / softback. New. Constructs a masterly polemic against the very idea of epistemology, as traditionally conceived. This title maintains that knowledge of the world constitutes a theoretically coherent kind of knowledge, whose possibility needs to be defended, only given a deeply problematic doctrine he calls 'epistemological realism.'
