PHL100Y1 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Cartesian Doubt
Document Summary
Descartes is very respectful to authority of the church but message is subversive. We should pretend we know nothing, similar to socrates but feels different. When im in the state of radical doubt i"m not believing that it"s dark outside but doesn"t mean i believe its. Tear everything down and begin again from most basic foundations foundations never as solid as people thought they were not going to trust any of my beliefs bright outside . Commits to not believing but does not commit to believing the opposite of what you do not believe.
