assumption: the more complex a topic, the more doubtful it's existence becomes

# data[].attributes.body
Argument:
If one wants to establish anything in the sciences, one must "demolish everything completely and start again from the foundations". We need not reject all opinions, it is sufficient to find in each of them some reason for doubt. Further, we must start at the basic principles upon which all other beliefs lie.

# data[].attributes.body
Descartes argues that the 'I' who doubts and understands and wants is the same as the 'I' who imagines, however he assumes that it is better not to look into the imagination to understand one's own nature.

if you are able to think about and question something, it must exist to some extent.

Assumption- Truth exists and is separate from the unreal.

argument- the fact that he can doubt his existence proves that he does exist

Implication: The god Descartes thinks is benevolent could be the one deceiving him.

# data[].attributes.body
Assumption- He must exist because he is something.

# data[].attributes.body
Implication- There is a constant battle between good and evil. Good being "truth" and God, and evil being trickery, falsehood, and a metaphorical (or literal?) demon.

# data[].attributes.body
Assumption - Descarte assumes that if he were being deceived by some evil, greater power, he would be aware of it

# data[].attributes.body
Assumption: "Even if I go on supposing them (bodies) to be nothing, I am still something."

# data[].attributes.body
Assumption - In a world where anything and everything is thought to be untrue, the idea of a higher power or god still governs our existence

# data[].attributes.body
Implication- Some scenarios cannot be trusted to be real simply because we believe they are, because when we are dreaming we often mistake false sensory experiences for reality.

# data[].attributes.body
argument - Descartes first asserts that simple truths such as math cannot be the result of deception (as opposed to sensory experiences), but then says that an evil being could be controlling him to make him have that illusion

# data[].attributes.body
Assumption—
You can disprove a belief without entirely showing that every one of a person’s beliefs are false. So because you are able to trust at least some/one of your beliefs, all you need to do is hack away at the centerpieces of such branches of beliefs.

# data[].attributes.body
Assumption- dream is separate from reality, but sometimes we are unable to tell them apart

# data[].attributes.body
argument-  Even though we have thought it doesn't guarantee that we exist, and whether we really do or not exist, having thoughts will not determine this.

# data[].attributes.body
Argument
Descartes argues that he is something, that he exists. Even if there is somebody deceiving him  "he will never bring it
about that I am nothing while I think I am something." Descartes undoubtedly concludes that he must exist.

# data[].attributes.body
Argument- Descartes says that good and evil are universal forces, not unique to just man. Therefore if there is an evil demon, there must be a benevolent God.

# data[].attributes.body
Assumption
Descartes believes that he cannot trust his own senses because he comes to realize something he believed his whole life is not true. He claims he is being fooled by some demon. Maybe this demon is not a real things and it is his imagination or his own conscience.

# data[].attributes.body
Argument:
Your senses can sometimes deceive you. (He talks about this in the first book)

# data[].attributes.body
An implication is that what he knows is not stubborn truth, that since he can't trust his current state of wisdom for lack of a better word, he is implying truth isn't always true

# data[].attributes.body
Argument-  "You should only believe something if it is absolutely true" Descartes believes if you question it then you must reject the idea

assumption- although it can be important to doubt everything, in most situations it isn't practical or necessary

assumption- although it can be important to doubt everything, in most situations it isn't practical or necessary

# data[].attributes.body
Argument-Our existence is not dependent on what we can sense because our senses can deceive us. Our existence is a culmination of what we sense, doubt, understand, and imagine.

# data[].attributes.body
Argument- Although Descartes argues that our senses are able to mislead/deceive us, he also states that some of the only things that we can trust are our own being and experience.

# data[].attributes.body
Implication- Descartes implies that he is deeming a "demon" responsible for all of his doubts/suspicions rather than God

(Argument) He claims that you cannot trust imagination.

# data[].attributes.subject
(Argument) He claims that you cannot trust imagination.

# data[].attributes.body
The goal of mediation is to find the essence of your existence and realism, therefore imagination is too abstract and ambiguous for Descartes to accept. Descartes wants to find the axioms of life by dissecting them to a point where they can be recognized but understood. If you include a perspective that is imaginative, it allows for his argument to become too ambiguous to be able to find answers and axioms.

# data[].attributes.body
Argument - At the very least, he's sure that "I am, I exist". He spent three and a half pages dissociating himself from what he knew as true but came to the conclusion that he exists because he is something.

# data[].attributes.body
Assumption- Descartes says that we may be fooled by an "evil demon" that attempts to make us believe what we perceive is real.

# data[].attributes.body
assumption- there is  nothing wrong with with trusting your senses on what is real or fake. If you have believed in something your whole life, and you just found out that it was a facade, then it is ok to change your perceptions.

# data[].attributes.body
Argument: If God's goodness would stop him from letting me be deceived all the time, you would expect it to stop him from allowing me to be deceived even occasionally; yet clearly I sometimes am deceived.

# data[].attributes.body
Argument- The human senses of sight, taste, smell, etc cannot be trusted.

# data[].attributes.body
Assumption - Descarte assumes a difference between the evil demon and God

# data[].attributes.body
Argument
Descartes argues that we cannot be dreaming our own life and consciousness because we have a complex memory. He assumes that we would not remember or be able to interpret our actions and senses if we are stuck in a dream.

# data[].attributes.body
argument - god is the answer

# data[].attributes.headline
Argument- The human senses cannot be trusted.
