Human Understanding. Is any Conviction Justified at All?

Essay from the year 2016 in the subject Philosophy - Theoretical (Realisation, Science, Logic, Language), , language: English, abstract: This paper discusses the philosophical question whether any conviction is justified at all. The focus is set on innateness therefore, because when something is innate, it would mean that we can be certain that our knowledge comes from a reliable source, which then necessarily must be a higher creature, and that our convictions are justified only by that fact. But my aim is to prove that our knowledge is not innate and thus our conviction of so many things is questioned.
