Why Trust Our Senses?
We may not have a lot of time to go over this in class, so I thought we could try discussing it on the blog.
Descartes's argument for why we can trust our senses, and as a result have knowledge about the external world, is pretty unconvincing. So what do you think would be a good argument for trusting our senses? What's a good argument that we can and do know stuff about the external world?
In other words, why shouldn't we all be skeptics? (OK, some of you may think we should. If so, this post isn't for you. For all you know, this blog may not even exist. Did I just blow your mind?)
