Delving into medieval skepticism, the podcast explores sensory illusions, divine interventions, and demonic influences on cognition. It discusses the implications of Descartes' evil demon hypothesis, debates God's benevolence, and examines epistemological inquiries. The exploration of mental language and representationalist views challenges the relationship between internal thoughts and external reality, while contrasting Aquinas and Avicenna on sensation and knowledge acquisition.
