DESCARTES’ MEDITATIONS 1 & 2
|
|
|
Descartes is showing that the knowledge gained from the senses is capable of being false. To know something really exists, it cannot come through the senses. It must come through the mind. He is questioning whether he is dreaming that moment and all his perceptions are not true because there are no definite signs that distinguish between dream and waking experiences. However, he believes that the images in the dreams must come from real experiences that were acquired in a waking state. Therefore, he concludes that he is indeed awake, and this is not a dream. He wonders if this is the deception of a higher being. Someone has made him think that certain things are true, but maybe they aren’t.
