Descartes' Argument that the Mind is Better than the Body
[2023-01-17 20:08:32]
Descartes believes that by first claiming that human beings have fundamental rationality, it means "a kind of doubt, understanding, affirmation, denial, motivation, loss of motivation" (Descartes, 19). He believes that humans have the right idea that they can clearly and clearly understand themselves. He proposed the concept of mind. There, imagination and sensation are also the essential ability (ability) of the body, especially the power of the mind. However, in order to further clarify this "thinking", he acknowledges that there is always a high possibility that the devil is dreamed or deceived.
Rene Descartes presented a number of arguments to prove that the mind and body are two different reality, but there is nothing more powerful than his "argument of consciousness". Descartes argues that thought is of thought and body is not so, the two entities can not be the same. By proveing that the mind has knowledge, doubt, imagination, and hope functions, you can better understand the difference between the mind and the body. Since I am not just spreading my mind just thinking, on the other hand I have a clear and clear idea of myself; on the other hand, since this is just an extension I am independent of the body I have the idea of. I have no idea. So, indeed, I am really different from my body and can survive without it (Cartesian, Qut. In Lawhead, 2003, 212)
Finally, I looked at the discussion on Descartes' thought and body distinction. Descartes believes that he proved that the mind is better known than the body II of meditation. In meditation VI, he insists that he knows his idea clearly and clearly knows that its essence consists purely of ideas and that the essence of the body is purely extended It continues. Through the power of God, what can be clearly and unambiguously thought to exist separately from other things can be created to exist alone. At this point, Descartes obviously made a logical leap, arguing that the mind and body were made separately without justification. Most critics think this is irrational and not necessarily obey it because I can imagine my thinking being independent of my physical existence.
Descartes believes that not only can the body be independent of the mind, it can exist even independently. This argument is based on an analysis of the reasons of his physical concept. He thought of four possible reasons: his thoughts, other thoughts, gods or bodies. Well, this idea shows what you can extend to him. Obviously, if the essence of his thought is the cause of thinking, that idea reverses its reasons - since thought is not extended. The same analysis applies to any other heart and god. People believe that what is expressed by this idea is expanded, and such ideas are clear and clear and, unless the things (reasons) that it represents are extended, God gives deceivers Will be. But God is not a fraudster (established with the third and fourth meditation). Therefore, impulses are reliable
