Kant's Refutation(as the specific philosophical argument being analyzed): A famous argument by Kant attempting to prove that the external world (things outside our minds) must be real, because we couldn't have reliable inner experiences without it.
Skeptic (in philosophy)(as a philosophical position that challenges claims to knowledge): Someone who doubts whether we can really know things, especially doubts about what exists beyond our own minds.
