Have you ever been dumped? Have you ever been taken to the curb? Discarded like yesterday’s newspaper?
It hurts. It is disconcerting. It rocks you to the core.
“I thought they loved me. I thought they would be around forever.”
Why didn’t I see it? Why was my perception so wrong?
If you live long enough, you will learn that your perceptions are often incorrect. Philosophers spend their lives overturning each other’s theories.
Rene’ Descartes (1596-1650), an especially skeptical philosopher, doubted everything until he came upon what he felt he couldn’t:
HE ORIGINATED THE FIRST PRINCIPLE OF HIS PHILOSOPHY – “COGITO, ERGO SUM” IN LATIN.
It can be translated to mean “I think, therefore I am” in English. He discussed this principle in his Discourse on the Method, Principles of Philosophy, and Meditations on First Philosophy. Descartes noted “we cannot doubt of our existence while we doubt.”
WE CANNOT DOUBT OF OUR EXISTENCE WHILE WE DOUBT
RENE’ DESCARTES
If or when you get dumped, you might not have to go as far as Descartes.
Big changes in our lives can bring us to question how we think. This is a good thing. Considering our thought processes and what generates perception is the most human thing we can do.
Epistemology – is the study of justified belief and knowledge. The consideration of perceptions and minds can fall into this category.
