RE: Analyzing some important philosophical phrases of the philosopher and mathematician René Descartes

in Project HOPE3 years ago (edited)

Hello @sandracarrascal
Two great phrases from Descarte, an excellent proposal for reflection.
Let's start with the first one:

"In order to investigate the truth it is necessary to doubt, as far as possible, all things".

There is always the margin of doubt, this statement only proves once again that as long as something is not proven to be true, there is a reasonable % of doubt about it.
And in relation to the second sentence:

"It would be absurd for us, finite things, to try to determine infinite things".
Human beings, whose existence is finite, have had the possibility of attaining knowledge that has allowed them to determine subjects far beyond their reach. Thank you for this great reading. Best regards.
