In this paper my aim is to present the foundations of human knowledge as laid by Descartes in his rationalist’s framework. Skeptics from the Greek to the present times have denied the possibility of knowledge. The question of knowledge has therefore been the main problem for those who have opposed skepticism through all ages. Especially the philosophers of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries have taken up the challenge of skeptics regarding the possibility of knowledge more seriously. This was the age when the foundations of human knowledge were firmly laid by philosophers like Descartes, Spinoza and Leibniz in the rationalist tradition, and Locke, Berkeley, and Hume in the empiricist tradition.

Skepticism, Cartesian Method, Certainty, Doubt, Knowledge.
