Abstract
Philosopher Rene Descartes believed that he functioned best as a solitary thinker. As he wrote in his Meditations it was only when he has no involvements or concerns that he could think philosophy and get it right. In one famous meditation Descartes posed every skeptical argument he could against the possibility of knowing anything for certain and concluded that there was one thing he knew beyond doubt."I think, therefore I am." Many people have more confidence in the reality of their own conscious experiences than they have in the external world or the experiences of others.
