520 1 $a"This discussion of Western thought takes the unique approach of interpreting skepticism - i.e., doubts about knowledge claims and the criteria for making such claims - as an important stimulus for the development of philosophy. The authors argue that practically every great thinker from the time of the Greeks to the present - from Plato to Moore and Wittgenstein - has produced theories designed to forestall or refute skepticism.
520 8 $aIn other words, they seek to demonstrate that knowledge claims are meaningful and that acceptable criteria to ground them can be established. The influence of and responses to such twentieth-century skeptics as Russell and Derrida are also discussed critically."--BOOK JACKET.
