Explain the definition of knowledge as justified true belief. Making use of this definition in your answer explain why Descartes considers sense perception to be problematic as a possible source of knowledge. Do you agree with Descartes on this? Why/why not? Explain how in meditation six Descartes solves this problem.

Knowledge as justified true belief is characterized by the situation in which someone has knowledge about a certain thing, therefore, for that person, that thing is true without any doubts. That is, the belief that something is true is justified by the knowledge that an individual has in that something.

Descartes totally disagreed with this concept. He claimed that our mind has a hard time distinguishing between what is real and what is imaginary in certain situations, which allows our knowledge to be flawed. With this, she wanted to affirm that judging something as true does not depend only on our knowledge of that something, but also depends on our doubt, that is, for Descartes a true belief and an absolute truth is the result of doubt. That's because doubt makes us investigate and find truths about a certain thing.

In my view, Descartes is correct about placing it around knowledge as justified true belief. We must always doubt and investigate all factors before concluding on something. Our senses are deceptive and we often allow ourselves to be carried away by them, creating a certainty that we know something, when in fact, only the investigation created by doubt can affirm if we really have knowledge about something.
