Descartes Meditations, Lets say god doesn't exist, Archimedian point,…

- - - - Man did not create the idea of God, because he is not able to create the idea of an infinate being
        
        This idea was placed in his head by such being
        
        God placed the idea in his dead
        
        God Exists
        
        Only an infinate being can create it
        
        How do we as finite beings know what infinite being is?
        
        D: We understand infinite, because we're finite
        
        Making us polar opposite of infinate
        
        Hobbs Objection
        
        We have no idea of an image of an infinite being
        
        D: Ideas are not just images
        
        God is an Abstract Idea
- - - - Determine nature & essence, which is unchangeable and eternal
  - - - How do I know something is true if I have forgotten the proof?
        
        I know God exists, therefore I have no reason to doubt even if I don't recall the truth because
        
        God exists
        
        He created my mind
        
        My mind tends towards truth
        
        I can not doubt
        
        I am the source of error
        
        I can avoid error by accepting as true only the things I perceive clearly
- - - - Chiliagon example
      - Not part of my essence
  - - - Therefore they exist
      - I am the cause because I am as well finite
      - God would have created my mind so that I am constantly perceived that the world around me is real
        
        therefore I am not cause of the ideas of corporeal objects.
    - - Therefore corporeal objects exist
- - - - To Prove: It is not God's fault that I make mistakes
        
        God created my mind
        
        Intellect
        
        Doesn't make mistakes
        
        Error arises when I choose to believe something that I cannot perceive clearly and distinctively
        
        It is not God's fault I make mistakes, It's mine
        
        Free Will
        
        Nearly unbounded freedom
- - - - Person employing common sense
        
        Yes, it is reliable
      - Skeptic
        
        Perception of obscure, distant objects is not reliable
        
        Argument from dreaming
        
        Sense is Not Reliable
    - - Person employing common sense
        
        Yes, it is reliable
      - Skeptic
        
        Evil Demon Argument
        
        Intellect is not reliable
- - - - Demon deceives someone, that someone is me
        
        I exist
      - The fact that I was doubting, means I'm thinking, therefore
      - "I walk, I exist" - Pierre Giassendi
        
        This is certain if wlaking is a thought
        
        Uncertain if its an action, because I'm not sure If I have a body
- - - - Therefore, God exist and he's an infinite being
