Descartes’ Mind-Body Problem In Meditations I‚ Descartes conceives that he is “A thinking thing‚” and this is based on his reasoning that there must be something that exists that is producing the meditations that arise in his awareness (Descartes 137). Descartes maintains that this reasoning solves the initial doubts that were addressed in Meditation I. He then becomes aware of the problem that although one can be certain that a thinking thing exists‚ one cannot be sure that there is the existence

the Body”‚ Descartes tasked himself with using philosophical reasoning in determining truths of the universe and of his own being. Motivated to justify that which he has held to be true‚ and to use those truths to find answers for questions that he poses both of the truths themselves and of his own existence‚ Descartes became suspicious of even the most basic elements of himself. Therefore‚ he needed to explore one innate form that he could be absolutely sure of: his own mind. Descartes closes the

He attempts to do this by proving the existence of a perfectly perfect God who would not allow us to be deceived by any omniscient deceiver.

Descartes spends the beginning of Meditations on First Philosophy by discussing his skepticism of the senses. Though the entire dream sequence in Meditations was not more than a few pages‚ it is easily one of the most discussed topics of the book. The dream argument can be broken down into three parts. 1st is that while I am asleep and dreaming I often feel sensations and perceptions that I feel when I am awake. 2nd is that there are no definitive signs to tell me if I am awake or dreaming‚ and this
