(Appearance in the mind true or false)
Locke in here is trying to say that since we make our own truth we tend to judge, but he also says that if we doubt our ideas that are true or false , we always going to think that we are right . Our mind is tricky and lead us to believe that we are saying the truth even though is not . Locke believes that if our mind is mental or verbal, our ideas are not capable of being false. Locke has a different thought than Decartes. Locke says that since we make our own truths we might tend judge it wrong. Decartes says to his readers just to believe and trust their selfs not others. Seems to me that Locke belives too much in himself. What do you think?

I don't understand what u mean by" Decartes says to his readers just to believe and trust their selfs not others" by that don't you think they are saying the same thing thought?
saying that Decarte think that the reader trust themselves and make up what they believe to be true?
if our ideas cant be false then why is he searching for truth...also in some of the things that i read he mentions that our minds have limits so how can we know the truth when we cant reach it? he contradicts himself alot
