    The problem of scepticism comes to the conclusion that we do not know of our creation or existence, nor can we know. This assignment will dispute against scepticism in reference to the “Brain in a Vat” argument. This proposes that we are brains in vats which are connected up to an exceptionally sophisticated life force, in this case a computer, that somehow has the ability to counterfeit our experiences of the external world, deceiving us of what we thought to be reality. This argument…
