There is an excellent article by Charles Taylor on Hegel's "Phenomenology of Mind" in a volume edited by Alisdair MacIntyre that discusses transcendental arguments at some length. The article discusses such arguments in a general sense in order to prepare his attempt to clarify an important argument in Hegel's work as a transcendental argument. I don't have time now, but if others do they can look it up, otherwise, I will try to do so later. It also discusses the history of such arguments in both "contintental" and "analytic" traditions. --Jabot the Scrob 03:37, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

As far as C20th analytic philosophy is concerned, Strawson and Stroud deserve mention. Stroud is particularly clear in explaining the basic reasoning involved, and the problems that typically arise. There was a good collection of essays published a few years ago, (ed. R. Stern) which although fairly technical, is excellent. I don't have much time now but will look to write something in the near future. Willg1000 22:20, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
