Descartes, Meditation of first Philosophy

First Descartes discovers that he has many false beliefs and sets out to find a way to ensure he has research to be true. He has stated that he has been tricked by his own senses and cannot trust his own senses and chooses to get rid of any sensory beliefs he has. In paragraph 3 he says “ I have accepted as most true and certain I have learned either from the senses or through the senses; but it is sometimes proved to me that these senses are deceptive”. On his path to finding knowledge he throws away his senses to not make the same mistake of believing false beliefs of his senses. Descartes doesn’t stop the argument after the senses can’t be trusted because he compares this to a matter of sleeping. He believes when he is asleep and he is dreaming most of his beliefs would be false. He can’t prove that he is awake or dreaming which leads him to doubt his beliefs even further or that he is controlled by something more. By saying this he says “At the same time we must at least confess that the things which are represented to us in sleep are like painted representations which can only have been formed as the counterparts of something real and true” as he goes further talks about science and how it relies on beliefs. He says that science can have the senses and claims “That is possibly why our reasoning is not unjust when we conclude from this that Physics, Astronomy, Medicine and all other sciences which have as their end the consideration of composite things, are very dubious and uncertain”. By the end of Meditation 1, Descartes is on the path to get rid of his desire for knowledge all together. Descartes goes on to say “conspires with these agreeable illusions that the deception may be prolonged, so insensibly of my own accord I fall back into my former opinions, and I dread awakening from this slumber” and by saying this you can see he’s giving up on acquiring knowledge and the senses.
