Radical Skepticism and Epistemic Intuition

Radical skepticism, which makes extreme claims about large swaths of our ordinary beliefs being irrational, is widely dismissed yet strangely seductive. Radical Skepticism and Epistemic Intuition focuses on arguments for radical skepticism that emphasize the gap between our evidence and our ordinary beliefs based on that evidence. It rejects all responses to radical skepticism that try to provide good arguments from the evidence on which we base our ordinary beliefs to the conclusion that those beliefs are true. In their place, it develops and defends a commonsense response to radical skepticism that relies heavily on epistemic intuitions, which are intuitions about epistemic goods, such as knowledge and rationality.
