Sceptics raise doubts about our ability to have knowledge
generally, and naturalists use scientific discoveries to question
common-sense thinking about the world, language, and the mind. This
book replies to these contentions, using a transcendental argument
to show that everyday thought constitutes an interlocking system of
concepts presupposed by all types of reasoning, including empirical
science. Thus sceptics cannot question ordinary belief, or science
challenge everyday thinking, without undermining their own
legitimacy. In addition to replying to arguments by scientific
naturalists in a number of areas, the book presents common-sense
thought in detail about reality and the mind. It also considers the
circumstances under which religious belief is justified. The result
is a contemporary defense of our over-all conceptual scheme giving
everyday thought a central place but also accommodating scientific
and other forms of thinking.
