    Argument Descartes establishes that in order to know what in fact exists‚ one must first take everything off the table and then see what can be put back. The conclusion is that in order to be certain that one is a thinking thing; one must know what it takes to be certain. “All those things I perceive very clearly and very distinctly are true”(Pg. 53). This general rule however‚ requires that all doubt must be removed. This can only be done if God both exists and is not a deceiver. Descartes then breaks

    Descartes and Peirce both believe in belief and doubt. However‚ Peirce argument and determination to find a solution to overcome doubt is much stronger than Descartes’.

    Republic of Plato Before I started reading Plato’s the Republic‚ I was loathe to admit that reading those philosophy books were gonna really change how I view myself. It was totally a waste of time to read these vague and complicated books. As I went on reading the republic‚ I saw many similar things that still existed in our society. In the book‚ Plato prescribes severe dictates concerning the cultural life of the city. He rules out all poverty‚ with the exception of hymns to the gods and eulogies

However‚ Descartes has unique way of metaphysical argument concerning existence of God. Descartes’ Discourse on the Method (Part IV) ends surprisingly with a claim of God’s existence‚ which can be deduced from the interrelationship between mind‚ soul and our existence. Descartes began the fourth section by discussing about himself. The reading

    Descartes is totally right to be suspicious about ’the given’ before accepting it as the establishment of learning‚ however‚ in the meantime‚ it is not the bravest thought to be distrustful about everything. Throughout first Meditation‚ Descartes disposes of all his past obtained opinion‚ which from his sense is highly dubious.
