Philosophy Discussion 1

Both Descartes and Hume have skeptical worries about being able to prove that thinking beings like humans can know anything for certain. Explain the basis of each thinker’s skepticism, then compare and contrast the views of each of these philosophers on the nature of truth and the concepts of substance, self,and mind or soul. Please remember that this is not the place to simply report information; your comparative discussion should include an explanation of YOUR OWN understanding of the thinking of Descartes and Hume. Comment on the parts of their views or theories with which you agree or disagree. If what they say does not make sense to you, then explain why. Word Count 400, no format.
