The Problem of Knowledge

In this major book the acclaimed author of Language Truth and Logic tackles one of the central issues of philosophy — how can we be sure we know anything — by setting out all the sceptic's arguments and trying to counter then one by one. In considering all the main philosophical issues involved — how we know that something is a fact, that our senses and memory don't deceive us, that other people are conscious in the same way that we are — he throws a clear light on the nature of our fundamental beliefs and provides an outstanding example of the philosophical mind at work.
