I also said that René Descartes, in his Discours de la méthode, attempts to get rid of his preconceived thoughts, clichés, and stereotypes to build a brand new edifice of truth. The narrator of La recherche, I said, pursues this same Cartesian, and very American dream: get rid of the old to create something new. The group liked this idea, and we talked about how, seen in this new light, reminiscing is no longer simply a sad or joyful experience, but a creative attempt to build a beautiful architecture of truth, time, and beauty.
