In this thesis I reject a sceptical argument that was recently formulated by Alan Chalmers (2003) by exploring the different meanings and implications of the thesis of the theory-ladenness of observation (TLO). I show that it is in fact a version of Agrippa's trilemma and choose a well-known solution to the latter, i.e., the causal-reliabilist theory of justification, in order to reject Chalmers' sceptical conundrum.
