Transcendental arguments and skepticism

Abstract

This work begins with a brief reconstruction of the cartesian epistemic skepticism from the authors point of view, according to which it is the view transcendental arguments must refute. The main argument is that transcendental arguments can only reíutc a skepticism built upon realist and representationalist suppositions. Therefore stronger skeptical arguments, those with an epistemic character, cannot be refuted with transcendental arguments.
