This work investigates whether transcendental arguments can effectively counter skepticism by identifying the necessary conditions for the possibility of experience, language, and thought. Robert Stern, a prominent scholar in the field of Kantian and post-Kantian philosophy, examines the structure of justification in the face of skeptical challenges. He argues that the most significant skeptical threats are not directed at the certainty of individual beliefs, but at the very possibility of justifying our belief-forming methods within a coherent framework.

Experts recognize this text as a rigorous and essential contribution to contemporary epistemological debates regarding transcendental arguments.
