"Descartes' suggestion that there might be a malignant demon intent purely on deceiving him"
I very much doubt that Descarets actually believed there was a demon. I think it's mean instead as a sort of thought experiment, a "what if" situation. After all, there'd be no way to know if there actually was a demon, any more than there was any way to know if there was actually a world out there, would there?
