>How do you go beyond that? Through a series of assumptions that are necessary not just for philosophy, but also all of religion, science, and your motivation to continue breathing.

Science is content making observations about the world around us based on things they assume to be true.

Religion is content with not needing to search for "proof" of their beliefs.

But philosophers... are they not supposed to be pondering the very nature of our existence? How can they all be content to continue pondering when there is such a fundamental flaw right at the beginning? Why are we not trying to solve this problem, there must surely be a way around it without assumption?
