Discussing The Philosophical Lesson of Doubt

Philosophy uses reasoning and logic to investigate things humans are experiencing with their existence in life. It studies close reading, critical thinking and analysis in every philosophers they convey. Each philosophers has their own perspectives in teaching philosophy. On how we glance differently within the world we reside in. Philosophy teaches us the way to use critical thinking. The way our mind keeps exploring beneath our expectations, reasoning and our beliefs. Out of all the twelve philosophers that we learned and discussed, all of them have big impacts but there's one philosopher that gave me chills and it made reflect my perspectives in life. It changed my philosophical thinking in life we are existing.

That one great philosopher is Rene Descartes, he taught to be the Father of contemporary Philosophy. As we transcend further in our own lives, we tend to consider our existence in life. We have our doubts in things we do, think and even how we act with the items that is happening in our lives along with the changes and turns that life brings us. Rene Descartes made me believe that life is indeed unimaginable. 

Rene Descartes truly believes that knowledge can’t appear from our senses. The examples are feel, taste, hear, smell, see. we have idea of our consciousness/ awareness. For him we wish a change, we have got to get the reality. We must have the knowledge to doubt on everything. Doubt that you simply exist. Doubt what we predict in our on choices. Doubt everything. He believes that doubting is critical in philosophy. According to Rene Descartes ,“If you would be a true seeker after truth, it is necessary that a minimum of once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.’’ It explains that if we would like truth meaning of life, we must seek the reality and that we must doubt on what we see, feel, touch and see. Our mind has no limits and that we must train our mind that everything we predict has no limit.

Descartes also contributed ideas that made into the creation of fields of the study. In psychology also, he's known for his knowledge of dualism. the speculation of dualism said that there are two realms to the existence. Not only in psychology and philosophy, he also contributed to 1 of the foremost important contribution in mathematics. He develop a “rule of signs” technique. It determines the amount of positive and negative roots of a polynomial. it's famously called “Cartesian Plane”. His greatness and knowledge that he imparted makes our lives much easier and convenient with inventions that uses this equation. It's what students and even professionals use today.

In life, there are many uncertainties and questions that we wish to understand further beyond. There are still questions that remain unfold. We live in this world not only to live. But to explore things while we can. Life is sort of a roller-coaster ride. Learn to ride from it. But one thing is for sure. These lessons that philosophers gave us will mold us to an individual on what today. and that we are still to continue studying philosophy.
