In both piece of reading, Rene Descartes and John Locke provide ways to find the truth. In “Discourse on the Method of Rightly Conducting the Reason, and seeking Truth in the Sciences”, Descartes addresses four principles to seek truth: first, not to believe in anything until you have evidence to prove it; second, divides problem into many smaller part so you can solve it easily; third, starts with to easiest problem and work you way to the most difficult one; four, to review the progress in order to make sure nothing is left out. I agree with Descartes about his four laws of finding truth because it makes truth more objective, especially in the Enlightenment Era, without technology, there is very little way to prove something. Descartes’s way to seek truth in more on the general level, you can apply to almost everything. In the other reading, “An Essay concerning Human Understanding”, Locke points out that it is not just enough to have evidence to support you belief so you call it the truth, you have to give reason to it. I think what Locke trying to say is that you must make “your truth” make sense to you. Truth is not what you want it do be and you must give reasons for your beliefs. In my opinion, Locke’s idea of truth is rather subjective compares to Descartes; since Locke says truth is come from reasons and reasons are self-evident beliefs.
