Descartes believes that we can find ourselves through contemplation and reflection.True or false? question is in details?
Another point of validity Descartes made was based upon the distinction of ';clarity and distinctness'; - hence through contemplation and reflection you could get a clearer and distinct grasp of what you are - this validation was key to understanding his clear and distinct foundation of self as a ';thinking being'; - therefore I am - the basic premise.True or false? question is in details?
Maybe but the souls yearns for contact and a higher being... we shouldn't seek ourselves by means of ourselves as mortals, but through who our designer created us to be....thus maybe prayer with reflection on Gods answers
False. Stick to Cartesian Mathematics. Contemporary empiricists, though also amiss, present more reasonable arguments.
Descartes said a lot of stuff that was frankly mad.
If the soul and body are seperate but joined then the soul must be physical.
He never questioned his memory either.
And in COGITO ERGO SUM he assumed he was the thinker. Not necessarily true.
If I gave bob a keyring 'cause I didn't like it and it was your b-day and he proceeded to give the keyring to you, You'd assume bob gave it as a gift whereas really it was me.
I explained it badly. Sorry.
True. How else could we know ourselves? If you don't stop and think about who you are, you can't know who you are.
