When reflecting the idea of truth in the eyes of Descartes, one must be certain to examine an important ideology of Descartes: doubt the truth of anything. If any certain “truth” about the world can survive this doubt, then it must be truly unquestionable. His views towards the bodily senses reflected this ideology.
