The Mystery of Skepticism: New Explorations represents the cutting-edge of research on underexplored skeptical challenges, dimensions of the skeptical problematic, and responses to various kinds of skepticism. The thirteen newly commissioned essays, edited by Kevin McCain and Ted Poston, demonstrate that despite its long history philosophical reflection on skepticism and the challenges it poses is alive and well. The essays in The Mystery of Skepticism enhance our understanding of skepticism by breathing new life into old debates and sparking new ones. The Mystery of Skepticism will shape discussions of skepticism for years to come.

"Textbook treatments of skepticism can sometimes give the impression that there are only one or two forms that skepticism can take, only one or two basic arguments for skepticism, and only a limited handful of options for responding to skepticism. The strength of the present volume is that its contributions manifest the broad diversity, complexity, and sometimes poorly understood nature of the many issues surrounding philosophical skepticism."
