Discourse On Method

I am still reading Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World. I am now in the chapter in which René Descartes was the main man. Prior to that chapter there had been some philosophies that I am still wondering to accept. Skepticism as they say. Somehow, reading the book really would let you ask like a 15 year old child (Sophie was almost 15 years old in the book).

About René Descartes, he was a philosopher at the same time a mathematician. As the topic of this blog article says, he made a work in which it fascinates the world and put people to have philosophical and as well as scientific skepticism. I myself have both. There were four concepts that he cited in his work (as seen in Wikipedia. First is to never to accept anything for true which was not clearly known to be such. Second was to divide each of the difficulties under examinatino into as many parts as possible which are deemed be necessary for its adequate solution. Third is to conduct your thoughts in order such that you might ascend to the knowledge of the more complex. The very last is to make every enumeration complete and assure that nothing is omitted.

So what does this four concepts cite? For me, it is suffice to say that life's still to be explored. We all have different views, and which are deemed not to be debated. Our views on life, religion, and love might be different. We respect all those.

I can still remember one time that I debated with someone who's an idealistic. I myself still considers myself as an agnostic. I really don't know. It seems that I still ask questions on myself and on confrontation I deny things which ought are undeniable.

If you happen to read Descartes' masterpiece, think twice! You might never know that you run into someone and kills you after you pounded him or her with criticisms.
