About this document

Descartes by JuliusMoratallaGalarosa is a document available to read on EtoBox.

1. Descartes employs a method of systematic doubt to attain absolute certainty. He doubts all that can be doubted in order to defeat doubt and arrive at sound judgments. 2. Descartes doubts the evidence of his senses because he imagines an evil genius deceiving him and making him perceive illusions, not true perceptions of external things. 3. Through doubting everything, Descartes concludes he must exist as a thinking thing ("I think therefore I am") since thought cannot be separated from his existence
