Opis

Robert Stern investigates how scepticism can be countered by using transcendental arguments concerning the necessary conditions for the possibility of experience, language, or thought. He shows that the most damaging sceptical questions concern neither the certainty of our beliefs nor the reliability of our belief-forming methods, but rather how we can justify our beliefs.

Recenzje

Stern presents this very dense and complex material carefully, patiently and clearly ... and as he systematically winnows the strategic wheat from the chaff, he narrows the focus of the enquiry ... Chapter four contains an excellent and very thorough discussion of Kant's idealism.
