Methodological Issues President Bernhard and Gabriel Marcel in 1969. By contrast, rationalism stresses the importance of thinking and reasoning to decide what someone should do. Many existential philosophers view decisions and actions as fundamental to human existence. Sartre's recognition of human's freedom to choose and create the definition of human leads to another important existential philosophy, the emphasis on will over reason. Other philosophers, such as Sartre, interpret the concept of humans as being something humans create and identify with. According to existential philosophers such as Heidegger, this means a supreme being, or God, determines what humans are. Different Existentialist philosophers interpret this differently. Existentialism, by contrast, rejects this idea and asserts that humans are just thrown into the world. Philosophers such as Descartes believed that nothing was more certain than the reality of consciousness.

However, Descartes argued humans could not think away themselves and, therefore, not doubt the reality of their own consciousness.
