The Meaning of 'Refutation' in Kant's Refutation of Idealism by Hyoung Sung Kim

“…By examining Kant's legal, logical, and critical uses of 'refutation', I argue for what I call a ‘diagnostic’ reading of the Refutation: Kant seeks to identify the grounds for why someone might be attracted to Cartesian skepticism and then appeals to his doctrines concerning space and time in the Transcendental Aesthetic to show how such grounds contains a difficult-to-see error. In contemporary terms, Kantian 'refutations' resemble so-called ‘debunking arguments’ which seek to undermine a belief’s rational standing by characterizing the grounds for the belief in question as flawed, defective, or unfavorable.…”
