Descartes describes his method in the Meditations as one of doubting his sensations and inherited ideas until he gets to something certain: his own existence as a thinking thing. Hume, on the other hand, doubts conceptual abstractions that lack a basis in sensory impressions; thus, he deems the "self" nothing more than a "bundle of perceptions" to which we attach "I think." How do these two philosophers differently employ skepticism in their arguments?

Respuesta :

Descartes believed that nothing can ever be known for certain. For instance, he doubted his sensations and ideas until he was certain they were correct. Hume doubted the “self” and other conceptual abstractions
good job
