First sentence: Peter Strawson disputes Stroud's assumption that the only possible ways to defuse skepticism are directly refute it, as Moore attempts to do, or to indirectly refute it by showing that it is unintelligible or self-defeating.
Description: "This volume represents the most comprehensive and authoritative collection of canonical readings in the theory of knowledge." "Concentrating on the central topics of the field, it includes many of the most important contributions made in recent decades by several outstanding authors. Topics include skepticism and the Pyrrhonian problematic, the definition of knowledge, and the structure of epistemic justification." "It is ideal as a reader for all courses in epistemology."--BOOK JACKET.
