Descartes, The existence of god, Discourse on Method, The illusory world,…
Descartes
-
-
Mathematician, scientist and philosopher
His focus, was the foundation of true knowledge
-
The existence of god
-
-
Third Argument, this time a priori:
-
If existence was not part of those attributes of God, then it would mean that God is not 100% perfect
God is, by definition, a perfect entity
Then, I must assume coherently with my first premise, that God exists
-
-
-
-
-
-
The illusory world
-
Descartes aim is to show that even if we start from a skeptical position we can still reach knowledge
-
-
The first certainty
in the past the discourse method said, i am thinking, therefore i exist
he said that, as soon as i consider that i exist, it is a direct intuition, not a conclusion
i think sounded like a premis, and therfore sounded like a conclusion
