Transcendental Arguments - Problems and Prospects

Zusatztext 'This admirable and continuously interesting collection of papers shows that discussion of transcendental arguments is not merely of historical or Kantian interest. It also makes its case that this is an area where new and convincing things can still be said.' Informationen zum Autor Robert Stern is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Sheffield. Klappentext In this volume of fourteen new essays, a distinguished team of philosophers offer a broad and stimulating examination of the nature, role, and value of transcendental arguments. Transcendental arguments aim to show that what is doubted or denied by the sceptic must be the case, as a condition for the possibility of experience, language, or thought. The essays consider how successful such arguments are as a response to sceptical problems.
