Book Synopsis
This book challenges assumptions that philosophers traditionally have made in setting out the demands of the skeptic who asks, "Why be moral?" It aims to show the ways in which philosophers should broaden, narrow, and otherwise fine-tune the skeptic's position so that a defeat of skepticism is complete.

Trade Review
Anita Superson's The Moral Skeptic is an impressive book in many ways. It covers a great number of important topics in contemporary ethics in a thorough way and from a novel feminist perspective.... Superson manages to cover all this ground with expertise and also weave an interesting narrative thread through the whole book.... Superson's book is clearly written and well structured. * Jussi Suikkanen, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *
