I cry a lot because I miss people. They die and I can’t stop them. They leave me and I love them more.

Q:What is your opinion on Sextus Empiricus and The Ten Modes, more specifically the reciprocal mode?

Anonymous

I read the ten modes long ago but in so far as I remember the main disagreement I would have with Empiricus is that he is a representative realist and I am a direct realist. In other words Empricus supposed that we cannot perceive the real world but in modern terms only the “sense-datum” of the real world. I on the other hand would argue that we perceive the world directly and therefore the skeptical and epistemic problems between humans do not hold true. the fact that we can speak about the external world together supposes that we perceive roughly speaking the same world

We entertain a suspicion concerning any matter of fact, when the witnesses contradict each other; when they are but few, or of a doubtful character; when they have an interest in what they affirm; when they deliver their testimony with hesitation, or on the contrary, with too violent asseverations. There are many other particulars of the same kind, which may diminish or destroy the force of any argument, derived from human testimony.
David Hume, An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding, Of Miracles(Section X)
