Hi all, this is my first post here. I’m studying physics with philosophy at university and i’m in my second year. I’m currently writing an essay on sense-data, and i have a few points that i’d appreciate any input on.
(I was intending on posting each distinct topic relating to this essay as a different thread, to keep each coherent; would that be correct ettiquete?)
Anyhoo, the first issue I wanted to raise concerns Descartes’ skepticism; to me it seems that Descartes’ first argument - where he shows the possibility of doubting everything except the existence of a thinking being - is a logically sound one. While we do not have to accept that this is in fact the case, I feel that we cannot disprove the possibility.
I was wondering if anyone has any arguments that disprove this position.
Thanks in advance
