The Question of Knowledge

We have been talking alot this week about what knowledge is and if we can actually have it. As Descartes begins be to get knowledge is throug doubting. Doubt everything. So if we do doubt everything how can we know anything in the first place. Are we alive? Or is it like we were talking about in class all just a dream? But if it were just a dream what would be the point? If we were all living in a dream there would be no point of trying to attain knowledge nor would there be a point of living. So as to what I think, the one thing we should not question is whether or not we are living or in a dream. Because if you do that then there would make it no point for actually having knowledge.

We should just begin by trying to attain knowledge by beliving that we are alive and it is not just a dream and go from there. Doubt everthing else, but do not doubt your life. Recieve wisdom by doubting what you have known to be true your whole life. But do not try to get it by doubting your life. Because if you begin to doubt your life then there would be no reason to even have the knowledge for you would not know if it were true knowledge or just what your "dreamt" to be knowledge.
