Descartes / Of Sound Mind and Body ?
[ send me this paper ]
This 7 page paper seeks to prove the hypothesis: In doubting the truth of every intellectual proposition, and conversely by transcending doubt simply through a belief in his own existence, Descartes shows the flaws in his methods. He requires that his methods be based on rationality and fundamental truth, but these are assumed by Descarte and subjective to his whimsy. In all, Descartes was only rationalizing truth for himself. Therefore, we must look at scientific inquiry based on Descartes methods as inherently flawed. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Descartes and Socrates -- What Knowledge Is
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses how Rene Descartes and Socrates viewed the acquisition of knowledge and what knowledge actually is. The concept of knowledge, what it is, what it means, and how it is gained, has been debated for literally centuries. Descartes’ “The Meditations” has come to generally be viewed as the most important of all of Descartes’ works. In it, he best presents his metaphysical and epistemological premises in their entirety and considers the problems of the sources and nature of knowledge. Socrates’ method of argument, throughout all of Plato’s writings, is a philosophical technique for discovering knowledge through question and answer. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Descartes' "Meditations": Knowledge And First Truth
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Behind Descartes' knowledge principle was the concept of being in touch with such internal aspects as beliefs, ideas, reasoning, hopes, thoughts, memories and temperament. He argued that being tuned into these elements helps to tap into one's intrinsic sense of consciousness. True knowledge is what Descartes aspired to grasp through consciousness. Step one in his groundbreaking compilation of scientifically conscious thought was that of other minds in relation to his first truth of existence, a concept that was thoroughly developed in Meditations.
