Furthermore, these implications were unwelcome in the end, for their metaphysical systems inevitably cast doubt on their epistemological argument, leading to skepticism. Since success in epistemological philosophy comes from demonstrating that something beyond the epistemological foundation can be known (or so-called realism), it entails a problematic ontological dualism of some kind. In addition to whatever accounts for the existence of their epistemological foundation, epistemological philosophers find themselves committed to the existence of the other kind of substances whose reality they are demonstrating, and as it happens, it is never easy to explain how such different kinds of substances fit together as parts of a single world. Thus, realism leads by way of some problematic ontological dualism to anti-realism, or skepticism about the reality of what is supposed to be demonstrated, and the failure of epistemological philosophy in inevitable.
