One of René Descartes' most famous arguments, not only from his first meditation but from all meditations, is his Argument from Dreams. Descartes believes that it is not possible to distinguish being awake from being in a dream state. In fact you might actually be in a dream right now. René Descartes' theory that it is not possible to distinguish being awake from dreaming, as interesting as it is, can sometimes be a little far-fetched, along with some contradictions with himself, Descartes' dream argument does not justify itself to any type of statement. the Meditations on First Philosophy were first published in the year 1641 in Latin. There are six total meditations written by Descartes. One thing that stood out was that Descartes wrote the Mediation from the first-person point of view, quite a change from other writers. Reading the topic of the dream leads a person to think about dreams that are had at night. James Hill defines Descartes' Meditations on First Philosophy as “an unconventional philosophical text” (Hill, 1). There have been no other philosophers who have ventured into the topic of dreams and formulated an interesting and impactful theory. Descartes' argument is quite interesting. Descartes makes an effort to make sense of something supernatural enough that even today's scientists have difficulty giving a 100% true explanation. At the root of what Descartes is trying to propose seems logical and simple. At the beginning of the very first meditation, Descartes states that he has lost faith in his senses because they can be easily deceived (Descartes, 18). While dreaming sometimes it seems very real, just like when... middle of paper... topic of the dream. When the creator of the topic doesn't support it 100%, it's very difficult to support it yourself. Even with the far-fetched ideas, contradictions and inconsistencies of René Descartes' dream argument, it is still a very interesting perspective on the subject that no one has ever seen before from Descartes' point of view. However, due to all these negative attributes associated with Descartes' Dream Argument, it fails to create any claims. Works Cited Descartes, Rene.
