Descartes Two Meditations

This article explains the first question. It is based on Descartes' first two meditations, represents rationalism, and draws comparative perspectives and arguments from the perspective of an experiencer. I will use reference materials for this course, "Think, Simon Blackburn, 1999" and "The Philosophy Gym, Stephen Law, 2003." In addition, "Knowledge" - reference from the seminar slide is also used. In Descartes' first meditation, he thought that in reality everything would think that everything could be a powerful devil's work.

My paper is about Rene de Carte's second meditation. In the second meditation, René Descartes' famous motto is "Cogito, Ergo Sum" or "I think I like this", as I also do. Finding his second meditation is the most controversial and interesting thing in his meditation. The second meditation is the most controversial meditation in Descartes meditation. And this is also his idea of ​​getting radical, because it shows that every kind of knowledge must be criticized and that people have to doubt everything, including himself.

Discussed three meditations of Descartes. His first meditation was called "meditation I: suspicious thing". In this meditation, Descartes recalls that he was deceived by his feeling, and that it has been happening since then, and that may also happen. So he told himself that my beliefs were dangerous and uncertain if I were deceived. It is the recognition of the first meditation that is called the second meditation "meditation II: about the essence of the human mind: it is known better than the body". Descartes believes that he must be present because he is "thoughtful". He can be deceived and can possess ideas and beliefs, so he must exist. His third meditation "Meditation III: About God, He is present" believes that God exists and he rejects the idea that God was invented. He proposed three perspectives; innate, factual and accidental. Descartes believes that God is a natural idea, he is not improvised

In meditation 3, Descartes summarized his meditation so far and categorized his thoughts. The main element of the third meditation is the trademark theory of God's existence. Several ideas such as unicorns and mermaids are born, or basically within us, but others are not. Descartes' claim is that human beings are born with the concept of inherent nature, which God has attached to us "his trademark". Descartes' fourth mediation focused first on whether God is a liar, followed by a clear and unique idea afterwards. Intentional fraud is only performed by incomplete (not complete) existence. Because God is perfect, God is not a crook. Descartes wrote that his judgment comes from God and that he will not make mistakes if correctly used. Only when you decide that you do not know, you can make a mistake.

Consideration on "Descartes meditation - the theme of the first philosophical meditation"
