Epistomplogy

In the world the views on Epistemology may seem unclear some believe in the idea of knowledge that is just known, Rationalism, and others may question the thought or idea of how does someone know for sure, Skepticism. Descartes made a strong case for the rational approach to knowledge, he had an intense desire to establish his beliefs on a foundation of absolute certainty to do this he then applied the method of rational doubt. He decided that if he found any reason to doubt a category or principle of knowledge he would set that category or principle aside. He would accept only that to which he could raise no objections. While Hume argued one can only know relations of ideas exist; no proof of external reality (matters of fact). Hume believed that “all our ideas come from experience,” and concluded that our limits to knowledge are profound. In a way Hume made sense to the thought of proof for what is real, one may side with his methods purely on the idea of knowledge with proof is fact. While Descartes argued solely on what is simply known is knowledge. Rationalism is much like common sense in the sense of mathematically speaking 2+2=4, when one holds up two fingers then another two fingers it is clearly shown 2+2=4. Mathematical reasoning leads one in an orderly way from what one knows to what one does not know but discovers. It is a pattern of a sequence such as a series of events. Descartes was a mathematician who searched for rational doubt, intuition was first needed then followed by deductive, intuition is used to gain some sense of reality such as Desecrates most famous saying “Cogito ergo sum” , “I think, therefore I am”. The truth cannot be argued because each time is true, even when doubting and thinking you are still thinking and therefore we are beings. And then after, by using deduction, it would be easier to be able to tell the truth by asking questions eliminating nothing but the truth. Descartes believed that what one knows,
