The structure of the skeptical argument
Philosophy and Phenomenological Research 54 (4):827-835 (1994)
Abstract
Much has been written about epistemological skepticism in the last ten or so years, but there remain some unanswered questions concerning the structure of what has become the canonical Cartesian skeptical argument. In this paper, I would like to take a closer look at this structure in order to determine just which epistemic principles are required by the argument.Other Versions
