Quote

Even if I doubt everything in this world to the extreme, I myself, who am silently thinking right now, simply exist clearly.

Greeting

I think, therefore I am.
Doubt everything — but the doubting self cannot be doubted.
Having a good mind is not enough. The key is to use it well.

Roll Call

I shall begin the methodical doubt.
I will accept only what is clear and distinct.
The light of reason has grown bright.

Deploy

Judge clearly and advance!
Cut away falsehood with the blade of doubt!
March in the order of reason!

Victory

Clear and distinct truth has triumphed.
At the end of doubt, I found certainty.
Those who follow reason prevail.

Draw

The analysis was not yet sufficient.
The problem must be divided into smaller parts.
Keep doubting and the answer will surely emerge.

Defeat

The senses deceived reason.
So long as the doubting self exists, it is not the end.
I shall think again by the warmth of the stove.

Strike

Raise the blade of doubt!
Dissect the falsehood!
Pierce with self-evidence!
P e r s o n aA n a l y s i s

Overview

Supreme intellect and reflection combined to create the foundation of modern philosophy that rebuilds all knowledge through methodological doubt. High diligence and progressive disposition drove deconstruction of scholastic authority, but cautious individualistic disposition produced strategic retreat after the Galileo trial.
