descartes

"he was convinved that certain knowledge is only attainable through reason"(Gaarder 230)
i think that Descartes point here in the quote that knowledge is attained through reason is really logical and i think that it is really true also, since the only way we can trully understand something is through the application of reason in everything we do so i think descartes has an incredible point here.

"Are you angry Sophie? So may exclamation marks are a sign of violent feelings"(Gaarder 241)
this is really interesting to see. I think that this question that Alberto does to Sophie is so ridiculous since the entire story and there entire relationship is built on cards and misteriousness and finding the true identities of Hilde and her father. So Alberto asking this just seems really dumb.
