In this excellent treatment of the internalism-externalism debate in contemporary epistemology, Richard Fumerton explores its implications for traditional skeptical concerns. When one fully understands these implications, Fumerton argues, one will see philosophical usefulness of a foundationalism relying on acquaintance. Contending that the externalist response to skepticism is too quick and easy, Fumerton defends a version of internalism, but in doing so puts into stark relief the radically different alternatives for dealing with skepticism that our metaepistemological views force upon us.

I know of no other discussion of skepticism and its relation to the externalist/internalist debate that is as powerful and subtle as Fumerton's. -- Richard Foley Metaepistemology and Skepticism offers both a powerful defense of skepticism and a highly sophisticated and detailed tour through contemporary epistemology. Anyone interested in these matters will profit from a careful study of this fine book. -- Jonathan Dancy, University of Reading ... a very insightful and dialectically sophisticated piece of work that sheds a great deal of light on recent epistemological controversies and their relation to skepticism. I have learned a great deal from reading this book and expect to return to it often. -- Laurence Bonjour, University of Washington
