I use the word sceptical deliberately for this book owes a great deal to the sceptical tradition within philosophy. This position has nothing to do with an extreme posturing found in some self­ styled postmodernist circles that questions whether we can really know anything, whether there is any such thing as truth. (According to some extreme variants there is no objective truth – except, apparently, the statement that there is none.)
