Abstract

Someone who thinks that his own inner states are the basis for all his other knowledge and beliefs may wonder how anything can be securely built on this foundation. He need not actually doubt that his own edifice is securely founded, though he may pretend to have doubts about this in order to consider how they could be resolved if they did occur.
