4. What does "I think, therefore I am" mean now that you have read Descartes' writings and explored his philisophical viewpoints in class?
"I think therefore I am" after reading Descartes writings and exploring his philisophical viewpoints in class now means that your existence cannot be doubted. Descarte looked for a statement that could not be doubted that we existed. He found that he could not doubt that he himself existed because he was the one doing the doubting in the first place. The act of thinking or percieving is an irrefutable truth. Since he is thinking, which means his brain exists, he himself must exist as well as the rest of human beings.
