Briefly present Locke’s anti-skeptical argument in favor of the conclusion that we are probably not living in a Matrix; instead, we are able to have probable knowledge of facts about the external world. How might a fellow anti-skeptic such as Descartes, or skeptic such as Hume or Bostrom (choose one) reply to Locke on this point? (ii) Then, critically evaluate Locke’s argument. What do you see as the main problems with Locke’s argument that we are likely not living in a Matrix and we have probable knowledge of facts about the external world? How might these problems be fixed?
