Speaking of God, it is a little known fact that Descartes’ epic metaphysical tract Discourse on the Method was a spirited attempt to define the expression ''[[for the avoidance of doubt]]''. Descartes started by asking, “what ''is'' doubt? Can we ever be sure that what we think is doubt, is, actually, doubt? And if there is some doubt about it, how should we feel about it?” | |||
