Abstract

Skepticism is a major, if not the greatest, challenge for the epistemological tradition. Several attempts to solve the problems posed by skeptics were tested over time, but none was able to secure our epistemic justification. With the same primary claim, the epistemic logic tries to provide epistemology a safe support for the construction of our justification, and therefore a barrier for skepticism.
