Descartes Discourse on Methods Part 4/4-6
In parts 4-6 he said how he thinks that there is something more perfect then him. Such as "the heavens, the earth, light, heat, and a thousand others," . He is saying that he is not perfect and that things are much more perfect in the world, so we should look around us and see what is around us. That God is perfect and created all the wonderful things for us to enjoy.
Later he takes about dreaming(this goes along with what Reachel said) that the things we dream are not also true and that we must recongize what is true and flase.
He also dealt with gemeters the depth and hight. believing that the triangle makes the world go around.

Jimmy from group 12 made a good point on my post. He said basically that dreams can be realistic, even as much so as life itself. So in that we can think of something and believe it is true but however it may not be because if we can dream up realistic things then when we are awake we can imagine realistic things as well, in turn it may not be true. And that is where the doubt everything idea coms from.
That is a good point, I didnt think of it that way. And I think he could be right.
I agree with rachel's comment. I agree because when i was reading he said that we do not know if our dreams or thoughts, when we are sleeping, are any less false than when we are awake. So i think he is saying that dreams are not just to be doubted but also our thoughts when awake.
