The text begins with a critique of the rationalist position of Rene Descartes and the transcendentalist framework of Immanuel Kant. 'This article continues to explain the notions of "Doubt" and "Belief" and a description of the methods for fixing our "beliefs" (the method of tenacity, authority, a priori and scientific). And it concludes with an explanation of the scientific method, whose nature is determined by the three forms of reasoning or inference: abduction, deduction, and induction.
