    In the First Meditation‚ Descartes goes into depth on reflecting about the number of falsehoods and deceptions that he’s fallen for during his lifetime. This causes him to question everything that he has perceived as true or real‚ even something as concrete as the senses. It’s here where he attempts to deconstruct all the perceived notions and build a new foundation based on absolute truths‚ things that cannot be doubted. However‚ the most polarizing topic‚ and the one that I shall be arguing for

    The fifth meditation starts off by Descartes straying away from meditating on the aspects of himself and God and compelling himself to focus on what he was pondering on a few days ago: material things.

    Descartes views in the Second Meditation is that he tries to clarify the nature of the human mind and how it is better known than the body. He has this theory of we’re just “existing” as in we’re just dreaming or being deceived by an evil demon of some sort. With that happening‚ he still concludes that we can imagine‚ hear‚ and see things. Although our sensory perceptions can be false‚ they’re still a part of our mind and our thinking. Descartes believes we should doubt our senses because they cannot

    Nicholas Flanders September 15‚ 2014 The Divisibility of the Mind In his sixth Meditation‚ Descartes makes an argument that the mind and body are not a single entity. Instead‚ he believes that there is a clear distinction between those two concepts‚ partly due to the unequal ability to divide each into more basic components.

Descartes gave the awareness that to doubt is to know and to know is to doubt. He had known that he exists because he can think‚ and he cannot doubt that he can

    In the third meditation‚ Descartes tells why he believes his idea of God must be innate. He believes this idea must be innate because it didn’t come through his senses and it isn’t a fiction of his mind.
