The 9 articles of this collection provide a thorough introduction to the history of skepticism in the Middle Ages, with in-depth discussion of the thought of Al-Ghazali, Henry of Ghent, John Duns Scotus, William Ockham, Nicholas of Autrecourt, Albert of Saxony, and the stances against their skepticism taken by John Buridan and Thomas Aquinas. Dominik Perler (theoretical philosophy, Humbolt U., Berlin, Germany) submits a chapter that gathers together various skeptical hypotheses in late medieval epistemology, and Elizabeth Karger (philosophy, CNRS, Paris, France) analyzes the early 16th-century critique of Buridan by Antonio Coronel of the U. of Paris. Each chapter concludes with a list of primary and secondary sources of the works discussed. Lagerlund (philosophy, U. of Western Ontario, Canada) has included a very thorough overview of the history of medieval skepticism in his introduction, making this an excellent stand-alone work for scholars of medieval philosophy.
