I feel that methodological skepticism is a extreme but useful way of analyzing truths. It’s effective in a sense that we all practice methodological skepticism in our daily lives. On a small scale we can take the weather forecast we all look for it but there are always doubts about it. We can hope the prediction is true but cannot be certain. Therefore we don’t have real knowledge about it. Descartes personal dealing with methodological skepticism is extreme in doubting and questioning every single thing in this world, but I feel that its good practice to test his method to make it work in other issues, ideas, situations in life.
I believe that there is no single method in seeking truth. Methodological Skepticism is only another tool to help one heighten awareness towards the truth.
