Heidegger's critique of the Cartesian problem of scepticism

This thesis deals with Martin Heideggers critique of the Cartesian problem of scepticism in Being and Time. In addition to the critique itself, Heideggers position with regards to the sense and task of phenomenological research, as well as fundamental ontology, is discussed as a necessary underpinning of his critique. Finally, the objection to Heideggers critique that is raised by Charles Guignon in his book, Heidegger and the Problem of Knowledge, (namely, that it suffers from the problem of reflexivity) is evaluated.
