Résumé

It is evident to anyone who takes a survey of the objects of human knowledge, that they are either ideas actually imprinted on the senses; or else such as are perceived by attending to the passions and operations of the mind; or lastly, ideas formed by help of memory and imagination – either compounding, dividing, or barely representing those originally perceived in the aforesaid ways...

«That in order to seek truth, it is necessary once in the course of our life, to doubt, as far as possible, of all things.

As we were at one time children, and as we formed various judgments regarding the objects presented to our senses, when as yet we had not the entire use of our reason, numerous prejudices stand in the way of our arriving at the knowledge of truth; and of these it seems impossible for us to rid ourselves, unless we undertake, once in our lifetime, to doubt of all those things in which we may discover even the smallest suspicion of uncertainty...

That we ought also to consider as false all that is doubtful.

Moreover, it will be useful likewise to esteem as false the things of which we shall be able to doubt, that we may with greater clearness discover what possesses most certainty and is the easiest to know...»

Auteur

  • René Descartes (auteur)

    Philosophe et savant, René Descartes (1596-1650), après une brève carrière militaire et plusieurs voyages en Europe, choisit de s’installer en Hollande en 1628. C’est là qu’il va élaborer l’essentiel de son œuvre, fondée sur la prééminence de la raison comme méthode pour atteindre la vérité. Son influence a été considérable, aussi bien sur les penseurs des Lumières et les tenants de la phénoménologie, que par les réfutations tout aussi remarquables (notamment empirisme et sensualisme) suscitées par ses théories.
