For readers curious about the nature of skepticism

Explains cognitive reasons for feeling doubtful

You will understand your doubts better and gain insight

This insightful book examines the reasons behind our doubts and skepticism.

N. Ángel Pinillos explores what is going on in our minds when we experience skeptical doubt. He suggests that there is a hidden mental rule which, for better or worse, motivates our skeptical inclinations; he gives an account of the broader cognitive purpose of this rule; and he suggests that it may also lie behind certain pathologies.
