In relation to some of the things you talked about Kant's philosophy, it seems that the popular interpretation of the CPR that understands him as saying we can divide the world up into the phenomenal world of cognition and the noumenal world of reality, the latter of which we can only know exists but not what it's like, would make his response a remarkably unsatisfying and uninteresting one from a man who was probably the most influential of the enlightenment thinkers. Berkeley's response would be much more interesting and serious. This would be a good reason to be suspicious of the popular interpretation.
@@rbbccjbb8170 I think one ought to deny that perception falls short of the world. I've got a video about McDowell and disjunctivism that goes into this. I also think -- this can be combined with the other response -- that not trusting one's senses is equal to giving up rational inquiry altogether. In two weeks time, I've got a video on Raimond Gaita that will go into this; I recorded it today and scheduled it to release 14 days from now.
@@VictorGijsbers what do you think about Heiddeger's response to the external world skeptics? I always thought his answer to be the most satisfying one
always glad to see new videos from you thanks
Love the return of your Nietzsche bust 😬
I haven't done a single video on Nietzsche, but at least is bust is keeping me company. :D

what do you think is the best response to skepticism about the external world?

@@VictorGijsbers disjunctivism seems like an insane view to me.
