Delphi method∗ Abstract The Delphi method was originally developed in the 50s by the RAND Corporation in Santa Monica‚ California. This approach consists of a survey conducted in two or more rounds and provides the participants in the second round with the results of the first so that they can alter the original assessments if they want to - or stick to their previous opinion.

Following this logic‚ the mind must exist while the body may simply be a product of elaborate deception. He comes to this conclusion through relentlessly doubting every aspect of his existence while simultaneously assuming the presence of a “very powerful and very cunning” deceiver who “ever employs his ingenuity of

Additionally‚ Descartes uses some ideas in his arguments which are like those of Aquinas regarding the casual principles of the arguments. The first way Descartes attempts

us which logical possibility correctly describes reality; and as property dualism is just as logically possible as substance dualism‚ the latter cannot be the right account of the mind and body. What Descartes needs to show (to secure the success of his argument‚ i.e. demonstrate that the mind and the body are separate substances) is that it is logically impossible for the mind and body to be the same substance; but‚ as he fails to do this‚ I must reject his conceivability argument‚ and Cartesian
