transcendental argument

(PHILOSOPHY) the assertion of‘what must be the case’ (i.e. can be established A PRIORI) on the presupposition that we do have knowledge of the world. Thus KANT claimed to have established the concepts and principles that organize all our experience and are logically prior to this experience. Similarly Bhaskar (1989) argues for his version of scientific REALISM on the premise that it is possible to state what, ontologically speaking, the world ‘must be like prior to any scientific investigation of it’ for any science, including a social science, to be possible.
