Methodical doubt (Lat. dubitatio methodica) is a method of systematically questioning and temporarily rejecting all thoughts to establish knowledge on a solid foundation. This approach holds a central place, particularly in the philosophy of René Descartes, the founder of Cartesian philosophy. Methodical doubt is based on the premise that the validity of all knowledge must be tested, and only that which is certain and indubitable should be accepted as fundamental knowledge.
