Abstract

This chapter introduces the main objectives and motivations of the book and offers a detailed outline of subsequent chapters. It describes the structure of the book, which begins by developing Presuppositional Epistemic Contextualism and then explores its ability to resolve various sceptical paradoxes and puzzles. In subsequent chapters PEC is defended against familiar and widely discussed philosophical and linguistic objections to contextualism. In the final chapters of the book PEC is employed to illuminate a variety of issues central to contemporary discussions of epistemological issues, such as Gettier cases, Moorean reasoning, the nature of evidence, and other current problems and puzzles.
