Descartes' Meditations

Descartes’ Meditations are a series of philosophical reflections where he questions what we can truly know. He begins by doubting everything, even his senses, to find something indubitable. He concludes that while he can doubt many things, he cannot doubt his own existence as a thinking being—"I think, therefore I am." From this solid foundation, he explores the existence of God and the nature of reality, aiming to establish secure knowledge. Overall, the Meditations are about seeking certainty by systematically examining and dispelling false beliefs.
