Question: Are we justified in believing in the existence of objects based on our sense experiences? What I expect (you need to do all three of the below):

1. Explain, using Russell’s argument from points of view, why we don’t have direct access to objects in the world, but instead must infer beliefs about the existence of such object from sense experiences.

2. Given this, then explain why, according to Descartes, the possibility of an all-powerful deceiving god shows that we are not justified in believing in the existence of objects based on our sense experience.

3. Then, either (pick only one!): a. Explain why Berkeley thinks that we are justified in believing in the existence of such objects based on sense experience and assess whether, or to what extent, you think Berkeley is correct (i.e., whether, or to what extent, you think that we are justified). b. Explain why Russell thinks that we are justified in believing in the existence of such objects based on sense experience and assess whether, or to what extent, you think Russell is correct (i.e., whether, or to what extent, you think that we are justified).
