Skepticism.

Skepticism.

Compare and contrast the skeptical arguments of Descartes (in

Meditations 1 & 2) and Al-Ghazali in the handout excerpt. Which

assumption about requirements of knowledge both take as obviously true?

How many parallel arguments you can find? How strong are these

arguments? How do these two philosophers resolve the skeptical problem

(i.e., do they accept skepticism at the end or do they discover

certainty)? What is the main difference between Descartes’ and

Al-Ghazali’s solution?
