Perceive This

At first Descartes had to believe nothing to be true, as a philosopher of thought he needed to start with a blank mind. He needed to make sure his thoughts were unbiased in everyway possible. This is very hard to do, so to make it easier he assumed everything he has of yet experienced to be false. He can barely rely on his own perceptions so each idea or thought must be examined thoroughly. Each thought needs to be categorized for every detail. The thoughts then should be organized from simplistic to complex. He then made general reviews and made sure nothing was omitted. With this process Descartes did prove that he himself exists and that God exists as well as some other thoughts.
