Descartes’ curiosity triggered him to discover the ultimate truth of reality. He was curious to learn if anything was true or false. Due to his curiosity, he created an intense experiment that reconstructs philosophy known as the Method of Doubt. He was highly aware that his senses were not reliable and can be deceived. Another thing he was skeptical about was the idea of not indicating if he was dreaming or if he was awake. Descartes, also has an idea of a powerful God that is capable of deceiving him. He began his intense experiment by doubting absolutely everything. This would ensure a route to particular knowledge by finding things that cannot be doubted. Descartes’ Method of Doubt featured a number of structures. First, he attempted to only accept extremely significant evidence that is recognized to be undeniably correct. Then, he worked on constructing the truths into smaller units. By breaking down truths into smaller unites, it simplifies difficult

Emma, written by Jane Austen, ignites many ideas for the movie Clueless, directed by Amy Hecklering. These two classics show many similarities and differences.

According to Descartes, God gave human beings senses, however, Descartes’ philosophy suggests that the senses do not represent the true natures of physical objects. This can be seen throughout Descartes’ first three meditations, as there a recurring theme that the senses are an unreliable method to grasp the true nature of physical objects.
