Authentic Living Through Descartes

It is necessary to question your assumptions and your beliefs about the world to live in an authentic way. One can not truly be present in the moment if they approach all situations with a preconceived idea. Descartes sought to know that all things he held to be true were true. Through this he lived authentically. Knowing that he had approached life is such an organized and skeptical fashion must have relieved much of the anxiety we feel today, since we are forced to move so fast that we have to rely on others to do our analyzing for us.
