Description: The Illusion of Doubt confronts one of the most important questions in philosophy: what can we know? The radical sceptic's answer is 'not very much' if we cannot prove that we are not subject to (permanent) deception. This book shows that the radical sceptical problem is an illusion created by a mistaken picture of our evidential situation.

Review Quotes: "This book is a significant contribution to the new bloom of work in neo-Wittgensteinian anti-scepticism, and it proves very useful for interpreting some thorny passages in Wittgenstein's corpus." -- Scott F. Aikin & Allysson Vasconcelos Lima Rocha, Australasian Journal of Philosophy
