The method of doubt involves withholding assent to any possible falsehood, which means not accepting any belief or claim as true until it has been proven beyond doubt. This approach is used by philosophers like René Descartes to systematically doubt every belief one might hold, in order to arrive at certain foundational beliefs that can be known with certainty.
