A222 - Exploring Philosophy : TMA04

The question for TMA04 is,

"Explain how René Descartes applies his method of doubt and evaluate whether the method delivers Descartes’s objective of finding certainty."

Can't help feeling that this question will get a response that is somewhat thin.

The description/explanation of the application is pretty straight forward and I guess examples backing up the reasons for his doubts will be needed.Once this has been done evaluating the method needs to be the bulk of the essay, so I suppose I'd better crowbar Hume, Popper and Kuhn in there somewhere, though not entirely sure where yet.

1500 words may be a bit of a struggle......
