After outlining the theses he sees as crucial to the epistemology of Bertrand Russell, Ludwig Wittgenstein, W. V. Quine and people kind of deeply inspired by means of them, and after tracing those claims to their deeper resource within the analytic notion of philosophy, Chatalian assesses the claims such theses make in regards to the Greek skeptics, sophists, and Plato. Such an evaluation, Chatalian argues, exposes the fake foundations of analytic epistemology. Epistemology and Skepticism outlines an entire epistemology in what, in accordance with its writer, is the classical sense.
