I think desc arts was right about the only thing we can true ly know is that we exist. All other thoughts, feelings, and the like must be questioned. Because we are human and to be human is to be f alible. We can not a sume that we are correct in our basic about anything. Even the idea that we do exist (in some context) must be questioned. The answer to that questioning must inevitably be yes.

I as the preciser of the world must exist. My cape ability to ask 'Do I in fact exist?' is proof that 'I am'. Descartes I think was well aware that what he proposed did not go far enif. At least not to true ly test the of our ability to look into our own ignorance of truth.

But in those times to propose such a theory was to sentence yourself to death. Hence some dilution of the primary theses was required. I think however that desc arts did a masterful job of laying a trail of crumbs. That anyone could follow without actually saying that witch he knew would lead to great personal misfortune, if not his own untimely demise. I also agree with desc arts that we, as humans are somewhat incapable of true ly laying aside all be life in that witch we can not be entirely sermon of. but instead we must resign ourselves to look off into the void of our own ignorance and contemplate what meaning this may have to our lives and our understanding of the world in witch we live.

I am strongly convinced that if we, as humans are to develop in to newer and grater in sighs, we must learn to set aside that witch we think we know. Even if only brei fly and only in an abstract way. This i feel is true because it is exactly that process that teaches us to not only think outside the box but to discard the notion of the box. So we can true ly make new in ovations rather than jest take the next step down the path that others have set for us. I how ever am in something of a dis agreement with de carts poison that any of us are any more or less sane. The thought that his 'mad men' are less about the true nature of reality is faulty if truth is determined by the be life of the masses then in columbus es time the world really was flat and leaches really do cure hemophilia. these are both fine examples of be lifes that we as a somewhat more advanced society have rejected as false but witch were at the time no less be lived by the masses or the scholars of the day.

Hence we must not a sume that these 'mad men' are incorrect in there jest because we personal or the grater majority disagree or fail to find truth in them.
