Is Global Skepticism Justified? Introduction Skepticism is something that we all have to one degree or another. Some of us who carry some Limited (Local) Skepticism might question whether we can really know if the news anchor is giving us correct information or if the five day forecast is really on track this time regarding the rain it is predicting.

Crucial to the use of this method is trying to find doubt in one’s beliefs, as if there is any doubt whatsoever then that belief or opinion could be false.

Review of Descartes ' "First Mediation" Through his first meditation, Descartes discusses what spurs his philosophical journey and gives birth to what we now understand and know as modern skepticism. He questions knowledge and how it comes about. He starts by doubting the principles by which he has acquired knowledge, and if his possession of such information is factual, given the source of how this was obtained.
