Descartes
This image shows Descartes idea that just because you can see something it doesn't mean it exists.He believed that because other people see something else in the picture because they were being influenced by their 6 passions in a different way.Descartes then concluded that in order fro something to exist you must be thinking.He said that you know you exist because you think that you exist. Therefore making you real and existing.The image above shows all that Descartes wanted to say in a much more simple way.The simple way to think about his belief is that your perspective can't be trusted, but your mind perceiving can be trusted.
