Theory Of Knowledge Epistemology Questions
The problem of the external world is a philosophical dilemma that questions the reliability and existence of our perceptions and knowledge about the external world. It arises from the skepticism that suggests we cannot be certain if our senses accurately represent reality or if they are merely illusions or deceptions. This problem challenges our ability to know whether the external world truly exists as we perceive it, or if it is a construct of our minds. It raises questions about the nature of knowledge, the reliability of our senses, and the possibility of objective truth.
