PHIL 1F90 Lecture Notes - Lecture 16: Analytic Geometry, Archimedean Point, Only Time
Document Summary
First we will lecture then we will watch a film. It is a like the movie freaky friday. If you need to access this film talk to the professor. Learning descartes is like learning a foreign language. We will go through text in strict chronological order. The book develops organically (like strawberries where under the ground they are interconnected) Any one think in the meditations will connect with ten things. The final exam will have four questions on descartes which will exhaust all six mediations (i. e. , you can"t just know a few of them well) You might remember descartes from grade 12 math where you were forced to learn analytic or coordinate geometry, where you produce geometric figures like parabolas and hyperboles. You might remember descartes from the monte python drinking song where they sing, i drink therefore i am (this is a falsehood) Malory keaton from family ties said, i shop therefore i am (also false)
