  abstract  = {This dissertation offers new and original readings of three major texts in the history of Western philosophy: Descartes's "First Meditation," Kant's "Transcendental Deduction," and his "Refutation of Idealism." The book argues that each text addresses the problem of skepticism and posits that they have a hitherto underappreciated, organic relationship to one another. The dissertation begins with an analysis of Descartes' "First Meditation," which I argue offers two distinct and independent skeptical arguments that differ in both aim and scope. I call these arguments the "veil of ideas" argument and the "author of my origin" argument. My reading counters the standard interpretation of the text, which sees it as offering three stages of doubt, namely the occasional fallibility of the senses, the dream hypothesis, and the evil demon hypothesis. Building on this, the central argument of the dissertation is that Kant's "Transcendental Deduction" actually transforms and radicalizes Descartes's Author of My Origin argument, reconceiving its meaning within the framework of Kant's own transcendental idealist philosophy. Finally, I argue that the Refutation of Idealism offers a similarly radicalized version of Descartes's Veil of Ideas argument, albeit translated into the framework of transcendental idealism.},
