HIST 2110 Study Guide - Final Guide: Aardvark, Antibody, Justice As Fairness
Document Summary
Even if an evil demon is deceiving you, he is deceiving. You also cannot doubt you are a thinking thing (character of your mind). But, you can doubt features of the external world (doubt that you have arms, doubt you see hundreds of other students, doubt you are in paris). This is because your knowledge comes from the senses, so an evil demon could be tricking you about this. But, you always know for certain that you are thinking (even if it turns out brains don"t exist) Ex) if i think paris is in france, i might be utterly mistaken. But as the thought runs through my mind, i can be certain i am thinking it. (2) explain the two senses of c see or perceive (veridical and phenomenological). Veridical sense: aware or expressing awareness of things as they really are eg: if someone sees an aardvark, there must actually be an aardvark there.
