Gardner’s copious essays and books over the past four decades debunking all manner of bizarre claims, coupled to James the Amazing Randi’s countless psychic challenges and media appearances throughout the 1970s and 1980s (including 36 appearances on The Tonight Show), pushed the skeptical movement to the forefront of public consciousness. One of its primary activities is the publication of Skeptic magazine. The magazine examines many fringe science and paranormal claims.

The Skeptics is a new anthology of work by internationally renowned philosophers who present cutting-edge research into the problem of skepticism. An introductory essay by the editor outlines current thought and introduces the key themes in the ensuing chapters. Two seminal essays are reprinted amongst the many contributions published here for the first time: Hilary Putnam's Brains in Vats, and David Lewis' Elusive Knowledge. The Skeptics discusses a range of approaches to knowledge, including coherentism, relativism, contextualism, and externalism, and explores different forms of skepticism, including regress or Pyrrhonian skepticism, indiscernability or Cartesian skepticism, and 'philosophical' skepticism. An extensive bibliography is included, offering a guide to further reading. Presented throughout in an accessible style, this book will prove particularly useful for students, researchers and general readers of philosophy who are interested in epistemology and related areas.
