I am
Renea Descartes believed that everything should be doubted until proved by reason. The only thing that he knew was that he existed, because he wrote" I think, therefore I am".
How do you feel about Descartes idea? How do you interpret his reasoning of existence. Please explain in 4-5 sentences.

I dont know? I guess it makes sense in a way.
I think that Decartes idea is a good idea. I think it means that you shouldnt be worried what other people think about you. If you thing you are some thing then you are it but you have to think/want it befor you are it. It means that you are you if you think you are.
i believe its a good idea i would follow it. My reasoning of existance so if you live your live well it woould be worth living worth while.He said follow the train of strict reasoning to arrive at other basic thruths so in other words arrive to other destination!
It is true. the only thing we know for sure is that we exist and we wont really know more than that until proved otherwise
i think that it is a good quote because i mean if you think you are something then you are something if you are thinking it that sounds really confusing but it makes sense.
I guss it should be doubted until proved by reason i dont know
I go w/ dude's idea. I think it makes since. I don't have no opinion on it really.
I belive to some point this is true, people will only belive what they can see for a fact. But the only thing is that some things are here but we can physically see them, for example the wind, we can see what it does but we cant see it so does that mean it does not exist? So i think that things are easier understood if they can be proven but some things people just have to belive.
I think that in some situations Renea Descartes idea is a good idea. I believe that it is the truth because i am the kind of person that believes something if their is evidence.
i think its a good idea but it cant be applied to everything. somethings have no reason like love. if everything should doubted until proven then where did we come from. they still have no real facts. if Descartes's idea was law, there would be chaos.
