The paper reviews the ideas of Descartes expressed in “The Meditations” discussing whether the existence of a non-deceiving God explains our natural inclination to believe that the sun will rise tomorrow because it always rose in the past. Hume’s critique of this justification is considered concluding that Hume’s argumentation is more persuasive.
