wellwisher cool4 descarte is one of the insane ones. Didn't he establish his view by rebuilding the house of knowledge. and locked himself in a oven till he could say he knew what he knew. or something a rather. Sounds about right. I believe specifically he: said to doubt everything. because we think we have a mind and that means we exist on the immaterial plane. if we imagine for a moment that we know what some things are, such as the infinite, and the all powerful, we can find god since we can't perceive infinite and all powerful. Something about how god gave us our senses, and our senses are given to us by god so they can't be wrong. So, we should trust our senses even though they're unreliable. ...yeah, a loony. Oh, and you're talking about Plato's Allegory of the Cave.
His theory was some "proof" of god. But it's really complicated and has a bunch of loopholes. That's all I remember from philosophy 12 about descartes.
It's something like I think therefor I am I think of god therefor he is. because what you think is what is percieved.
His theory allows for a lot of misquoting.
