man of success. Rather become a man of value”. This quote to me means that you must look beneath the surface and really figure out what truly brings you value or a satisfaction. I relate things that give me some sort of satisfaction as giving my life value. When asked what gave my life value I honestly had no idea what really gave my life value. I had to ask others around me because I was stuck. Of course no one knew what gave my life value‚ because it is my life and they don’t know what happens to

It is hard to see how the existence of logically and metaphysically necessary truths is enough to ground human knowledge. Following Kant’s reasoning‚ there are certain types of knowledge we have no access to. I will argue that Presuppositionalism is more plausible than Kant’s skepticism about certain types of knowledge‚ and that from
