Meditations 1
I think that Descartes finds himself to doubt some of the truths that he believed in the past. He says that over several years he had built more knowledge but everything always falls back to the beginning or foundation. In my opinion he is starting to reveal more truthes but at the same time he always questions himself in even the simplest things like his own body, hand, or head. I think that this all has to do with his experiencing throughout life and this will only take time to acknowledge more truthes..
