There is a very famous quote that our firend and philospher Descartes said in the book of questions of life. The quote is "I think, therefore I am". Its a very interesting quote that make my mind to question it. This quote is to argue, and many people are going to have different opinions and ideas of it. Some philosphers have argue this quote, like David Hume. I really agree with Descartes because our brain thinks that he are the person we are, and that makes us believe who we are.
Also our brain is telling us to us or makes us belief that we are real people living in a real world, and we don't know this for sure. Fernando Savater in this chapter makes many controversial questions like the one we discuss in class, that was imagine that we are in a dream, and we dont exist. Of course I believe that I exist and that this is not a dream. I am catholic and I belive in god, and I believe that this is not a dream. Many people can have different ideas, but this is what my brain is telling me.
I think that if all this was a dream. Who cares really? I don't mind and you neither. You will continue with your life in the same way. It is not going to change you. Only it is going to bring you more questions to your head, and you will be asking: why is this a dream?
THIS IS REAL WORLD BABY ! ! ! ENJOY IT ! !

Well, i think that in the utopic case of you realizing that none of this is real, you would surely be like "cool" and continue your life. However you would be continously tortured by the thought that that coffe you took in the morning was nothing but a mere stimulus to what you think is real, or that the sensations you feel when you see a girl are just merely programmed.
ResponderEliminarits not the same to enjoy life than to try to understand life and enjoy it. its like hearing some music. You may appreciate the melody but if you never really sit to analize the meaning of the lyrics you will never enjoy it properly
just my opinion
greetings
I also like this quote and i like how you emphasize how savater uses this quote. And I also like how you explain this quote in your own words. This is a great explanation of a quote that is hard to understand and hard to exemplify with other things. I also like how you incorporate the term "dreaming" and how you explain that we still live even though everythning is just a dream.
