The general problem of skepticism: the reasons for our knowledge claims remain miserably behind the content of this claim. Problem of lacking. The input is not sufficient to justify the output. 2. Specific knowledge problems: are ahead of the skepticism: how do we get to the "a priori" knowledge? >Knowledge, >a priori/McGinn. I 174f Skepticism: a) skepticism of the first person: limits to my knowledge coincide with the limits of my phenomenal experience. b) skepticism of the third person: biological limit. How can we as a few pounds of meat, permeated by nerves, make an image of the outside world? McGinnVsSkepticism: Takes advantage of the idea, there would be a metaphysical gap between subject and knowledge object.   a) For position of the first-person between the states of consciousness and the conditions in the outside world   b) For the position of the third person: the gap is seen as a part of the objective world which would face another part of the world, while both parts have their own characteristics. I 176 We need to prove that despite these gaps knowledge is possible, and that the gaps of knowledge are not as detrimental as it seems. I 177 Knowledge/Transcendental Naturalism/TN: claims that the gaps are ultimately gaps in our understanding ability. Its origin is of epistemological, not of ontological kind. >Terminology/McGinn. I 196 The skeptic misinterprets our principled disability on the level of meta-theory as a case of irrationality on the basis level.}, note = { McGinn I Colin McGinn Problems in Philosophy.
