Abstract:
This book challenges assumptions that philosophers traditionally have made in setting out the demands of the skeptic who asks, "Why be moral?" It aims to show the ways in which philosophers should broaden, narrow, and otherwise fine-tune the skeptic's position so that a defeat of skepticism is complete.
