Summary:

One of the hardest problems in the history of Western philosophy has been to explain whether and how experience can provide knowledge (or even justification for belief) about the objective world outside the experiencer's mind. A prominent brand of scepticism has precisely denied that experience can provide such knowledge. This volume presents new essays on scepticism about the senses written by some of the most prominent contemporary epistemologists.
