Defending Science: An Exchange

MICHAEL LYNCH: There are some things we have in common — including some principles — just because we are human. As the Scottish philosopher David Hume pointed out, you can doubt induction or observation all day long, but you'll still end up trusting them later that night. As he put it, it is just part of our "natural instincts" to trust our senses most of the time. That is how we are built.
