Skepticism about subject matter x is the view that s known that p , where p never belongs to x . *** knowledge that theoretical knowledge of facts.

Point isn"t that that we might not know what we think we know, but to find out how we know what we know. Foundationalism about knowledge everything we know rests on a foundation of basic beliefs, which we don"t need to be justified by other beliefs. If it conceivable that you could be wrong, assume you are. Do this for everything that you know, what ever is left are you basic beliefs. Most things that we believe in come from our senses.
