    The fifth meditation starts off by Descartes straying away from meditating on the aspects of himself and God and compelling himself to focus on what he was pondering on a few days ago: material things. But before Descartes tries to reason if material things outside himself exist‚ he must first make sure material things can be definite outside his thoughts without being subjected to doubtfulness. Other than that‚ anything outside these parameters has to be omitted and seen as distractions from what

Descartes believes we should doubt our senses because they cannot

Instead‚ he believes that there is a clear distinction between those two concepts‚ partly due to the unequal ability to divide each into more basic components. This leads Descartes to the conclusion that mind and body exist separately as two parts in a duality. Descartes describes how the mind is simply a thing that can think. There

    For Descartes‚ you cannot be sure of one’s existence or its reality so first you must doubt it. But as we see through his work Meditations on First Philosophy‚ we are presented by his loosening grip on his own sanity since he had continued to doubt and never accepting to believe in other realities but only is certain of his own existence. Descartes gave the awareness that to doubt is to know and to know is to doubt. He had known that he exists because he can think‚ and he cannot doubt that he can
