How Can One Know Anything?
Question
I recently studied a bit about epistemology and skepticism, and I have to ask: is it even possible to know anything at all?
If it really isn’t, then how can one believe in God at all? Maybe all our logical reasoning is nothing more than an illusion of our intellect?
Answer
If you do not identify knowledge or truth with certainty, then no problem arises. I devoted two books to this: Two Carts and Truth and Instability.
Discussion on Answer
There is no certainty about anything. But knowledge does not need to be certain.
Thank you very much. I agree with this answer.
But if there is no knowledge to begin with, how can there be certainty?
