Abstract

Descartes' dream hypothesis, despite what he sometimes says himself, is supposed to inspire genuine existential doubt regarding the material world. Furthermore the hypothesis resists the criterion of coherence by means of which Descartes finally distinguishes dreaming from waking. The dream hypothesis turns out, nonetheless, to be untenable. What is more its untenability is apparent from a close analysis of the very example of a dream described in the first Meditation
