Translate the following passage THE Meditation of yesterday has filled my mind with so many doubts,that it is no longer in my power to forget them.Nor do I see,meanwhile,any principle on which they can be resolved;and, just as if I had fallen all of a sudden into very deep water,I am so greatly disconcerted as to be made unable either to plant my feet firmly on the bottom or sustain myself by swimming on the surface.I will,nevertheless,make an effort,and try anew the same path on which I had entered yesterday,that is,proceed by casting aside all that admits of the slightest doubt,not less than if I had discovered it to be absolutely false;and I will continue always in this track until I shall find something that is certain,or at least,if I can do nothing more,until I shall know with certainty that there is nothing certain.Archimedes,that he might transport the entire globe from the place it occupied to another,demanded only a point that was firm and immovable so also,I shall be entitled to entertain the highest expectations,if I am fortunate enough to discover only one thing that is certain and indubitable. From Meditation by DescartesTranslate the following passage • THE Meditation of yesterday has filled my mind with so many doubts, that it is no longer in my power to forget them. Nor do I see, meanwhile, any principle on which they can be resolved; and, just as if I had fallen all of a sudden into very deep water, I am so greatly disconcerted as to be made unable either to plant my feet firmly on the bottom or sustain myself by swimming on the surface. I will, nevertheless, make an effort, and try anew the same path on which I had entered yesterday, that is, proceed by casting aside all that admits of the slightest doubt, not less than if I had discovered it to be absolutely false; and I will continue always in this track until I shall find something that is certain, or at least, if I can do nothing more, until I shall know with certainty that there is nothing certain. Archimedes, that he might transport the entire globe from the place it occupied to another, demanded only a point that was firm and immovable ; so also, I shall be entitled to entertain the highest expectations, if I am fortunate enough to discover only one thing that is certain and indubitable. • From Meditation by Descartes
