O.O

Descartes- If I’m going to be blatantly honest, and I try to be, I don't thing I have never heard that name before this class. I was initially, and maybe still am, overwhelmed by this class and this reading. But if I look past the mumbo jumbo I’m looking at one question: what is reality? My reality may be something completely different than someone else’s, but who’s to say it’s any less real? When I look at a color am I seeing the exact same thing as someone looking at the same color, and even if it’s different does that make it any less real? It's puzzling. The mind is a wonderful, and disturbing thing. And though I don’t buy that we can free our minds of all prejudice I do think that there’s value in what he tried to do. He tried to find his reality. He tried to find truth.
