I Dont know What to believe anymore!!!!
In meditation Decartes is talking about believing in god , but in a way he does not think it exists. He believes what is not ordinary, nothing real , but something real he think is not possible. In one of the writting he says ( As if i did not recall having been decieved on other occasions even by similar thoughts in my dream! As i consider these matters more carefully, i see so plainly that there are no definitive sign by which to distinguish being awake from being sleep. As a result, i am becoming quite dizzy, and this dizziness nearly convinces me that i am sleep. ) How can someone feel that the dizziness means the person is sleeping? Confusing right? Imagine reading what he says? Right now i might even confuse you, but i guess i am just trying to make a point that Decartes is one confusing person!!!

i agree with you that Decarte is a confusiong and to the point of very contradicting his own point. I guess that's part of philosophy, try to figure out questions that no one has answers to, answers that have mutiple answers to that diff. people have their own diff. view point.
Decartes is one confusing person. I didnt know philosophy will be that confusing. I believe is all Decartes fault! Decartes instead of making it easier for us to understand him, it actually drives your mind crazy. What exactly is he talking about? Some thoughts that he has i agree with him, but than he ends up changing his mind.
