Doubting...
For Descartes, doubting, thus
thinking, affirms the existence
of the doubter for one cannot
doubt if one does not exist.
However, doubting does not
literally mean about it is either

reacted to the
philosophy of Descartes
by forwarding
phenomenology,

The only thing the knower knows
about the outside world is the
product of one's manipulations.

said system of thought, Husserl

things themselves instead of

the outside world

experience and its content, the
