Q1. 300-500 words. What is Rene
Descartes’s skeptical argument against taking perception as
justification? Is his argument sound? Why or why not? What might a
critic say to you in response?
- Begin by rehearsing Descartes’s skeptical argument. Why does he think that our senses are not good evidence for our beliefs?
- Then, state whether you think his argument is sound, and offer
your critical argument for thinking so. Is the argument valid? Are all
of its premises true? Explain. - Finally, consider how Descartes’s might respond to your
assessment. If you think his argument is unsound, then state a potential
reply on his behalf. If you think the argument is sound, state a
potential reply on behalf of the dogmatist and defend Descartes’s
position - Q2. 100-150 words. Critically engage with a peer’s post. ( I will provide Peer’s post as soon it posted )
