Rationalism wins

I thiink that rationalism is better than empiricism. That is because you cant cheat to our mind, well perhaps you can but is more difficult than to cheat our senses. there are a lot of things that are used to deceive our mind. Like drugs, they make you see things that are not real or they can make you hear things whatever. You can also mistake someones scent with a different person or a differnt place. so I think your senses are not so trustable because they are easily confused or faked. Also your senses just give you information to do things but you do things with your mind, reasoning and using logic to do things. so otherwise you need reason to do things not just your senses.

That is why I think rationalism wins, because is more trustable and better

Rene Descartes

Rene Descartes seemed to be one of the greatest philosophers ever. One of the most brilliant. He is considered by many people "father of modern philosophy". This is because his rare type of thoughts ( at that moment) and how he saw and explained life.

He questioned about every possible thing he could and deduct every thing to the minimum posible answer. Because of this he created the methodic doubt.

Using this method he achieved a conclusion: we think, therefore we exist. He questioned about the existance of human and our purpose in earth. What do we do etc.. so he is considered the first existentialist. At his time he wasn't so famous on the contrary he was a bit rejected by people because of his thoughts and how he explained things. Just after his dead he became famous and everone wanted to read Descartes
