Common Sense, Science, And Scepticism by Alan Musgrave

This book critically examines the foundations of knowledge, blending philosophy with practical reasoning to navigate the concepts of common sense and scientific skepticism. It challenges readers to question how we distinguish between what is considered 'common sense' and what is scientifically proven, delving into the philosophical underpinnings of skepticism itself. Through a rigorous analysis, the text explores the limits and strengths of human understanding, encouraging a thoughtful reconsideration of how we accept or reject information in the realms of science and everyday life. It serves as both an introduction to philosophical skepticism and a deep dive into the epistemological questions that underlie our quest for knowledge.
