Abstract
Descartes discusses the outcomes of his thoughts in section four of the Discourse, using the technique he established earlier. He rejects all sensory information, believing that the senses may deceive, as well as all demonstrative reasoning and believes that everything that has ever entered his consciousness is a result of dreams. He concludes that he is fundamentally a thinking material and that his soul is completely separate from and simpler to know than, his body, because his awareness of his existence is only based on his thinking.
While it is likely that conceptions of external objects such as the light, earth, sky and so on are all illusions of the mind, Descartes contends that God is not one of them. Reason, not imagination or senses, is the only way to recognize God's existence. We may be confident in our clear and vivid senses since they originate from God.
Main Ideas
Discourse on Method's major goal is to create a new way of thinking that integrates the objective facts of mathematics with intuitive truths of the senses. Descartes (2019) dismisses all his physical senses reveal about the world, saying that only his mental reality can be trusted. The author divides Discourse on the Method into six sections, which he specifies in the prologue.
Descartes (2019) argues in the first half that sciences are valuable, but not adequate, in providing means of learning about the world. He makes the case for skepticism as a method of approaching reality. The moral theory that his technique supports is described in the third part. Descartes defends the god's existence and the Human Soul in the fourth portion of his work. Descartes writes the famous sentence "I think, therefore I am" in this section, which is the foundation of his dualist philosophy (separation of mind and body) (Descartes, Adam & Tannery, 1964).
Purpose of Passage
Rene Descartes, believing that all problems had a scientific or mathematical answer, applied concepts that were already known in his search for answers and set out to develop particular knowledge or truths. He attempted tirelessly to find a solution for these ideas and even his own existence in the start of the article, even pretending that his own thoughts were illusions of his dreams and that his own life was even a dream.
In 1637, Rene Descartes published a discourse titled "Discourse on the Method of Properly Conducting One's Reason and Seeking the Truth in the Sciences." The objective of this work is to investigate several approaches to epistemology, or the philosophy of knowing (Descartes et al., 1964). Descartes is...
