Re: Don't Lie

[(Anonymous)]

Well, your take on him is what it is. But the thrust of Descartes' thought is rather that one's own experiences CANNOT be trusted - that everything can be doubted and must be doubted. It's a search to find something certain on which securely to found human knowledge, and the thing that Descrates identifies is "cogito ergo sum" - not experience, but pure, abstract thought, is the one thing which we can know certainly to exist, and from there (Descartes thinks) we can build up certain knowledge about the world and know, with certainty, that it is as we think it is.

But the whole motivation of Descartes' philosophy is that our experience is untrustworthy and that we have to doubt it and we can't rely on it and we're thrown into this profound doubt about existence because we can't rely on our own experience.
