An Evaluation of Descartes' Argument that an Evil Demon Manipulates through Senses

I. INTRODUCTION This paper is an evaluation of Descartes' discussion about our sensory manipulation and the influence of the devil by deception. The second part is an explanation of the way of doubt and how it proceeds to the third part that evaluates progress through evil spirits. Fourth, how can people reach the conclusion that they are skeptical and evil discussions, are still present, and ideas?

Descartes was skeptical at the first two mediation. Descartes first solves radical skepticism implied by an evil devilish argument by deciding that he is intellectual essence. According to Descartes, this "I" self-view is born, we are born, even a demon can not be doubted.

Despite the evil demons' claims, Descartes does not deny the existence of God. The way Descartes presented the argument made the devil coexist with the god. So when his heart is deceived or given incorrect information, it is not from God but from the devil. From this skeptical argument, people will doubt the existence of the outside world. If the devil really exists, the only part of our existence may be our idea. Therefore, the outside world where we live in this world does not exist, it means just a miracle where our demons are placed in our hearts. Naturally, this sounds unreasonable for any ordinary person, but it is the world that Descartes may be in doubt in his common beliefs.

An evil demon 's claim is Descartes' most extreme argument. He proposed a concept of a malicious god. This malicious god is proposed to be responsible for sensual fraud. It can be inferred that fraud can cast doubts on the idea of ​​the world. So even under the same conditions you can even doubt the existence of a person (later Descartes uses his 'Cogito ergo sum' statement to dispute this). Descartes believes that even posterior knowledge may be the result of carefully manipulated and controlled implanted fraud by malice. He believes that this god is evil as it relates to lies, and that the benevolent God is not evil
