Résumé:In a previous article, I argued against the widespread reluctance of philosophers to treat skeptical challenges to our a priori knowledge of necessary truths with the same seriousness as skeptical challenges to our a posteriori knowledge of contingent truths.

In the present article, I defend a priori skepticism against Vahid’s criticisms.
