In his Meditations, Decartes offers the following version of the ontological argument. He considers the idea of God, a supremely perfect being, just as real as the idea of the existence of any shape or a number. His understanding of God's existence is no less clear and distinct than his proofs for the existence of any shape or number. Therefore he adds, "although all that I concluded in the preceding Meditations were found to be false, the existence of God would pass with me as at leas .....

.... or intuition is often that which through cultural sensitivity is left unchallenged).
The emotive nature of the proposition, in which a state of mind is expressed, implies that the individual holds this as personal knowledge, applying to themselves, but not necessarily to others..
Plato in the Theatatus rejects the theory that knowledge can be based purely on belief or a subjective state of mind. For Plato Belief is an integral part of knowledge, but must also be combined with Reason and Evidence. A subjective statement for Plato would lack both the reason and evidence he feels is required to acquire true knowledge.

The radiation destroys living matter and contaminates soil and water.
Atomic bombs were the first nuclear weapons to be developed, tested, and used. In the late 1930s physicists in Europe and the United States reali .....
