| Abstract | Two strikingly similar critiques of epistemological foundationalism are examined：J. L. Austin's critique of A. J. Ayer in the former's Sense and Sensibilia, and part of Candrakirti's critique of Dignaga in the first chapter of the Prasannapada. With respect to Austin，it is argued that his writings on epistemology in fact related quite closely to his better-known philosophy of speech acts, and that the appeal to ordinary language is part of a transcendental argument against the possibility of radical skepticism. It is then argued that Candrakirti makes some very similar moves, and that his argument against Dignaga makes still clearer the sense in which both Austin and Candrakirti can be characterized as making transcendental arguments. In particular，if a condition of the possiblity of meaningful discouse is the making of certain kinds of assents, then the epistemologist's demand for the justification of those assents is unreasonable. |
