. Ancient skepticism
. skeptical arguments in the work of Hume and Descartes
. Cartesian skepticism in contemporary epistemology
. anti-skeptical strategies, including Mooreanism, nonclosure, and contextualism
. additional varieties of skepticism

Presenting a comprehensive survey of the key problems, arguments, and theories, together with additional readings, A Critical Introduction to Skepticism is an ideal guide for students and scholars looking to understand how skepticism is shaping epistemology today.
