Abstract
Argument or objection from brain in a vat is among arguments offered in favour of skepticism. This argument was raised after innovations have been made in the field of computer sciences and electronic industries. The argument which is similar to that Cartesian vicious demon or to the argument from dream is the most or one of the most important objections raised in favour of skepticism. Upon explanation and examination, we can respond many of these objections and criticisms. To the author the argument is subject to many difficulties and faults such as its being self-destructive and that it cannot be all-inclusive and as a result it undermines the very foundation of itself.
