discovered that Earth was not the center of the universe, and in fact Earth actually rotated around the sun, not the other way around. This made everyone question their former beliefs, especially Descartes. Galileo’s discovery prompted Descartes’s deep thoughts that led to Meditations. Meditations I is all about Descartes exploring the question “What is knowledge?’. He wants to secure a structure of beliefs that can create a foundation that is strong and pure.

Grazed arms and legs were luckily the only outcome from slipping and sliding. No rockslides. The thought of the rocks cascading from above sent shivers up my spine.
