Descarte_And_Kant

Descarte And Kant Will the sun rise tomorrow' Does the sun even exist outside of my own mind' Do I even exist' These are questions that most people would probably answer yes to. However, how can we be so sure that we really exist; that the objects that we perceive around us really exist; or that those things that have occurred consistently in the past will continue in the future' Rene Descartes discusses such topics in Meditations on First Philosophy, as does David Hume in An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding. In Meditations on First Philosophy, Descartes is skeptical about all of his current beliefs and even questions his own existence, as well as the existence of extended objects. However, his skepticism decreases as the Meditations on First Philosophy progress. Hume, on the other hand, appears to grow increasingly skeptical throughout An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding. However, he finds what he believes to be a solution to his skepticism. Although both Descartes and Hume escape their skepticism, the means by which they do so are problematic.
