| Moore's hands: thought experiment by G.E. Moore (Moore, Proof of an External World, 1939). By raising his hands and saying "Here is one hand and here is another", he demonstrates quite directly that there are at least two material things in the external world. Most authors take the view that it is not possible to refute skepticism in this way, since skeptical doubts go deeper and concern, among other things, the relationship between manifestation and knowledge. Ultimately, it cannot be ruled out that the whole situation is again a dream. See also skepticism._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.
