I detected so much apprehension from Descartes, but an overall willingness to reach truth. Descartes touched on many things that I didn’t thoroughly discuss. His prime intention was to reach a foundation that’s certain and through the proof of his existence, God’s existence, and the use of clear and distinct perception I can confidently say he’s reached a good level of certitude. His resolve regarding his existence and clear and distinct perception won me over. I couldn’t agree more. However, his proof of God’s existence is flawed in my opinion. I’m a believer in God and the proof he provided didn’t suffice for me. Although Descartes’s proof was not adequate, it did bring him to some truths, which is why I believe his overall resolve was successful.
