Description

Do we really know the things we think we know? In The Sceptical Challenge, part of the International Library of Philosophy, Ruth Weintraub examines whether our beliefs are reasonable. Scepticism offers a pessimistic view, suggesting that we know nothing and that none of our beliefs are reasonable. This work explores whether this seemingly paradoxical claim is more than just an intellectual curiosity and whether it can be refuted. Weintraub argues that the sceptical challenge is a formidable issue that must be confronted rather than dismissed. The book addresses the theoretical and practical difficulties presented by this doctrine, specifically noting that a sceptical life cannot be lived. This text provides a deep look into epistemological questions for students and readers of philosophy.
