Explanation:
- 'Descartes' contention that these senses are clear and distinct implies that the mind cannot help but believe them to be true, and hence they must be true since else God would be a deceiver, which is unthinkable.
- As a result, the premises of this argument are firmly established in his foundation of absolute certainty.
- The dreams themselves are fascinating and intricate. Descartes received the message from them that he should embark on a mission to reform all knowledge.
- He decided to start with philosophy because it is from it that the principles of the other sciences must be derived.
