Pyrrhonian Reflections on Knowledge and Justification

This work examines contemporary theories in knowledge and justification and is written in two parts. The first presents an analysis of ordinary knowledge claims, showing that they are philosophically unproblematical. The second takes ideas found in Sextus Empiricus' Outlines of Pyrrhonism, restates them in a modern idiom, and then asks if any contemporary theory of justification meets the challenges they raise. Fogelin argues that the answer is no.
