One of the questions that philosophers discuss is: How can we avoid,
or at least reduce, errors when explaining the world? The skeptical
answer to this question is: We cannot avoid errors since no statement
is certain or even definitely plausible, but we can eliminate some
past errors. This book advocates the skeptical position and discusses
its practical applications in science, ethics, aesthetics, and
politics. It brings philosophy down to earth and comprises an outline
of a skeptical guide to the real world.
