Hume's Argument Of Skepticism

1.3 Hume’s argument for inductive scepticism in the Enquiry starts with a division of the things that we think about and a realization of the limitations of our perceptions.
All the objects of human reason or enquiry may naturally be divided into two kinds, to wit, Relations of Ideas, and Matters of Fact.

Propositions of this (the first) kind are discoverable by the mere operation of thought, without dependence on what is anywhere existent in the universe.
(the second kind) are not ascertained in the same manner; nor is our evidence of their truth..(like the first).
It may, therefore, be a subject worthy of curiosity, to enquire what is the nature of that evidence which assures us of any real existence and matter of fact, beyond the present

Descartes sees the flaws in believing his senses and decides against them completely. At any moment any of us could be dreaming, or our senses might be corrupted by a demon, so he concludes that senses are not to be trusted.
The objection to Montaigne that Descartes makes in his First Meditation, is that there are some senses which are so clear, that to deny them would be to be like the insane man who thinks he is rich when he is poor, clothed when he is naked.
This is a serious objection, but it does not even hold up when we look at the evil demon argument of Descartes, when a demon may be deceiving us all of the time, how can we trust anything. In many ways, their arguments are very much the same, until they get so close to the source of perception. Montaigne, unlike Descartes, would say that our ideas of the external world are so colored by our own fallible perceptions, that not even the closest things to us can be had with any great confidence. One could argue that the human subjective perception allows for some confidence, but only if we allow our perceptions to be solely

Hobbes also gives account that in the state of nature there is no way to gain advantage alone, because others will come to “dispossess, and deprive him”(Hobbes 6). In this state humans are doomed to lives that are "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short". For Hobbes, man is naturally selfish and disinterested in others well-being. Mutual contract paves the way out of the state of nature for Hobbes, who makes a strong argument for contracts. The contract is enforced by its mutual responsibility, and eventually, successive levels of contract lead to the sovereign. Until the establishment of the sovereign, prisoners’ dilemmas plague
