Philosophical Scepticism (Limits of Knowledge)

£2.99

Can ordinary knowledge be defended against global scepticism? (25 marks)

This question is asking you to discuss global scepticism (the view that it is impossible to know any of our beliefs because of the possibility of subjectively indistinguishable scenarios, such as Descartes’ evil demon, where those same beliefs are false) and either defend some knowledge claims against global scepticism or argue that global scepticism is correct to deny all knowledge.

Similar questions:
