Abstract
In this work I intend to draw certain consequences del skeptic challenge powered by Graham Harman (1986/2002) around the normativity of logic. To do this, I will reconstruct the skeptical challenge and analyze a proposal to overcome it developed by John MacFarlane (2004). I will examine one of the problems present in the literature known as the "paradox of the preface" which will serve as an analytical tool. I will conclude that Harman's skeptical challenge sets a limit to the normative force of logic on reasoning.
