Zusammenfassung:David Hume launched a historic revolution in epistemology, but allies appeared only in the twentieth century, in the persons of Sir Karl Popper, Nelson Goodman, and W. V. Quine. Hume's second great contribution to the field was to propose reflective equilibrium theory as the framework within which to understand epistemic justification. The core of this work comprises an account of these developments from Hume to Quine, and an extension of reflective equilibrium theory that renders it a general theory of epistemic justification concerning our beliefs about the world. In chapters on Sextus, Descartes, Wittgenstein, and various aspects of Hume's epistemology, the author defends new readings of those philosophers' writings on skepticism and notes significant relationships among their views
