英語訳Certainties

説明：
More literally 'things which cannot be doubted' but this is rather clumsy. More formally this could be 'foundational beliefs' although there might be some subtle distinction between this and 'certainties'

'Certainty' might be better, although there are a small number of important such beliefs central to Descartes' thought.

More wikipedia...
Descartes' Meditations on First Philosophy is a book in which Descartes first discards all belief in things which are not absolutely certain, and then tries to establish what can be known for sure. Although the phrase "Cogito, ergo sum" is often attributed with Descartes' Meditations on First Philosophy it is actually put forward in his Discourse on Method however, due to the implications of inferring the conclusion within the predicate, he changed the argument to "I think, I exist"; this then becomes his first certainty.

Exclude all doubt

説明：
Rene Decartes always started with the premise of doubt, and from there, he would work on trying to "exclude all ground of doubt."

The first of four precepts of Rene Decartes in the "Discourse on Method" is:
"The first was never to accept anything for true which I did not clearly know to be such; that is to say, carefully to avoid precipitancy and prejudice, and to comprise nothing more in my judgment than what was presented to my mind so clearly and distinctly as to exclude all ground of doubt.

Rene Descartes always starts with the premise of doubt. He reasoned that one had to "exclude all doubt" before one could come to a state of "certainty." So, I believe his main exercise was to exclude "doubt" which is a word that is repeated numerous times with his philosophy.

As the originator of Cartesian doubt, Rene Decartes automatically put all beliefs, ideas, thoughts, and matter in doubt.
Descartes believed that doubt can be erased by studying the "first person". This heralded the term "cogito ergo sum" – "I think, therefore I am".

例文：

1. Filter away all that may be in doubt.
Descartes started his line of reasoning by doubting everything, so as to assess the world from a fresh perspective, clear of any preconceived notions.
