Descartes suggested the idea of doubt as a method for arriving at truth. By systematically doubting everything he had been taught or had previously believed, he aimed to find a foundational truth that could serve as a basis for building a system of knowledge. This method became known as Cartesian skepticism, laying the groundwork for his famous statement "Cogito, ergo sum" (I think, therefore I am).
Descartes suggested the idea of doubt as a method for discovering truth. He proposed systematically doubting all beliefs that could be called into question, in order to arrive at indubitable knowledge. This method was intended to establish a foundation of certainty in knowledge, famously expressed in his statement "I think, therefore I am."
This statement, "Cogito, ergo sum" in Latin, was famously made by the philosopher RenΓ© Descartes as a foundation for his epistemology. It expresses the idea that the act of thinking proves one's existence, as to doubt or think, one must exist as a thinking entity. This concept serves as a starting point for Descartes' philosophical inquiry into knowledge and certainty.
Descartes's principle of separation of mind and matter posits that the mind (consciousness, thoughts) and matter (physical world) are distinct and separate entities. This concept of dualism has had a significant impact on the development of modern philosophy and science by influencing ideas about the nature of reality, the relationship between mind and body, and the limits of human knowledge. It has also played a role in shaping debates on topics such as free will, determinism, and the nature of consciousness.
A critical study is an in-depth analysis and evaluation of a specific subject, such as a book, film, artwork, or theory. It involves examining the content, context, themes, and techniques used, as well as offering insights, interpretations, and criticisms based on scholarly or intellectual inquiry. The goal is to provide a comprehensive and thoughtful examination that contributes to the understanding and discourse surrounding the subject.
Socrates is known for the Socratic method of questioning and was Plato's teacher. Plato wrote extensively on politics and founded the Academy, where Aristotle studied. Aristotle, in turn, went on to become a famous philosopher and also tutored Alexander the Great.

He had the idea that it is through rational thought (not experience) that we gain knowledge. So he thought people should question scientic hypotheseis using deductive reasoning to help achieve more clarity in the scientific method. (His ideas are in the book "Discourse on Method")
Scientific inquiry is aimed at being as objective as possible in order to reduce bias. Rene Descartes was famous for establishing the guiding principles of scientific method in his book "Discourse on Method". The main goal of scientific inquiry is to obtain knowledge through a systematic approach of testing, observing, and measuring hypotheses, so that one can predict the results of future experiments.
