Answer:

These assumptions are a contradiction.

Explanation:

The two statements are a contradiction because they give opposing ideas on the same subject. He claims philosophy should include a constant doubt on knowledge, to make us never settle and always improve our hypothesis. However, he also claims philosophy allows humans to " see as God might see", which indicates an absolute view in each matter. It is not a paradox because he is relativist in the terms, he doesn't say humans will be like God, omnipotent and all-knowing, but in the constant movement of study and doubt one might tangency something of divine feel.
