A Skeptics Inception In Descartes Skepticism he excises the idea of doubt and the never ending allurement to some sort of doubt that is within life. Descartes says that everything you know no matter how probable or improbable it is has doubt. In Descartes meditation one and two he goes over his three main points of doubt. First, he wonders if he may be crazy, secondly if he is dreaming and thirdly if he is being tricked.

This reality mimics the real world and will manifests real people, feelings, and places. It would be almost uncertain to think that it was not of the real thing.

For Descartes does not know that truth but knows that knowledge exists because he does exist. Descartes rationalism debate proves that all knowledge is rational. Cobb would have been able to know that he was in the fictitious world if he would have used his reason. This is because his senses are which that had been deceived. Both Descartes and Cobb’s come to the statement that the only thing that is certain and really matters is that “I am, I exist” (Descartes
