Many philosophers have questioned the extents of knowledge that humans are able to obtain. Descartes states that even he does not know whether or not he is being deceived by a higher power, or whether he is awake or dreaming. These basic assumptions of doubt are hard to agree with based off of what we think we know. But the outcomes of our decisions on the matter are reflective of our beliefs and reflective of Descartes most basic argument. In Descartes second meditation, The Argument for Our Existence, he starts to build up these ideas of mind versus body. His main point of his passage is to discuss the idea of a working mind without body. He discusses how if in the mind something exists and if thoughts occur, that he indeed must exist. Within the passage, he has stated that the physical world is not real, implying his nonexistence. In the case of the evil demon deceiving him, Descartes concludes that in order for him to be deceived, that he must exist. The argument most obvious within the passage given was that “if I think, I am.” This argument is specifically about how believing in ones existing through thoughts, then they obviously exist. Descartes premises were, ‘whatever thinks exists’, and ‘I think’; therefore, ‘I exist.’ More specifically, “I have convinced myself of something, then I certainly exist,” this is specifically geared towards the previous dream argument. Here, Descartes builds up his beliefs in himself and in the fact that he truly does exist.

Finally, his conclusion states that “I am, I exist, is necessarily true whenever it is put forward by me or conceived by my mind.” This concluding statement is the “therefore” part of the argument, even though it may not be obviously stated.
