Q The rejection of the parallel line axiom raised doubts about our basic sense of reason. If parallel lines can meet -- as the mini-lecture discussion shows -- then what's left? The Evil Demon Argument raised doubts about tradition, authority and religion; the Dream Argument questioned human experience and science; the rejection of the parallel line axiom raised doubts about reason itself. Are there no certainties? We live in an era (at least in the Western world) where nothing is sacred. What do you rely on to confirm your own opinions? Can you justify your choice given the discussion thus far?
