Small Discussion
- Did Peirce successfully refute Descartes? Do you feel at ease about skepticism now?
- Is the disagreement between Peirce and Descartes merely about the meaning of “know”?
- When Peirce and Descartes use the phrase “indubitable”, do they mean the same thing? Where do they differ, if at all?
- Is there a plausible, everyday understanding of “know” according to which Descartes is right?
