STEPANENKO GUTIERREZ, Pedro. KANT AND THE DIFFERENT FACES OF THE SKEPTIC. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2005, vol.54, n.129, pp.35-46. ISSN 0120-0062.

(Kant and the Diverse Faces of the Sceptic): In this paper I suggest that in order to avoid some of the difficulties to which the contemporary discussion on the transcendental arguments has led we must discriminate different ways of understanding the sceptic’s challenge that Kant faces in the Critique of Pure Reason. In the first part, I expound a dilemma into which the Kantian epistemology could fall if we accept the characterization of the transcendental arguments as anti-sceptic arguments. In the second part, I present three ways of understanding the sceptic’s challenge and the different strategies that could be developed to answer it correctly.

Palavras-chave : Kantian epistemology; scepticism; transcendental arguments; justification; empirical knowledge.
