Lately I have fallen into a very abstract kind of existential crisis. I find it harder to recognize deception and reality. Giving the benefit of the doubt helps and disturbs me at an almost equal rate. I attribute this crisis to several factors:
1. Acknowledgement of political deception and media lies as with north Korean propaganda. It weakens trust to any major news organization.
2. A strong ambiguity introduced through the philosophical ideas of Wittgenstein, particularly the doubt introduced by the idea that actual communication is likely to fail if both parties of communication fail to recognize the other parties communicative function (as in a recommendation is perceived as a threat)
3. A weakening trust in the human senses after reading Descartes.
4. The idea that "wrong" and "good" doesn't really exist as it's a human made concept and other questions of ethics (introduced to me by exercises in a book of logic)
Is there any philosophical branch, book, author who analyzed some parts of my problem? Is there something I am unaware of here?
At this moment I imagine there an author and a book which is very likely to tackle this problem as Kant did with "Critique of Judgment". Or are they even intertwined?
