HUMA 1160 Lecture 12: PHILOSOPHY
Document Summary
I am, i exist & i am thinking, therefore, i exists. Gasse(cid:374)de"s first objection to descartes is about the senses. Question 3: descartes responds to go to the first meditation where he explained the whole thing. Gasse(cid:374)de"s o(cid:271)je(cid:272)tio(cid:374) to des(cid:272)artes is that des(cid:272)artes does (cid:374)ot ha(cid:448)e a (cid:272)lear idea of (cid:272)lear a(cid:374)d distinct because it is subjective. Gassende asks him to find truth through something objective (jan 8) test structure. Gasse(cid:374)de"s o(cid:271)je(cid:272)tio(cid:374) 1- taste/subjective =he says its too subjective and he wants something objective. Des(cid:272)artes" o(cid:271)je(cid:272)tio(cid:374) 1- i explained it in meditation one. What persuaded me to think that i think therefore i am. Descartes thinks there is a contradiction in the principal 7 whi(cid:272)h is (cid:862)i a(cid:373) thi(cid:374)ki(cid:374)g; therefore, i do (cid:374)ot e(cid:454)ist(cid:863) In contrast, stan thinks there is a contradiction in the action of denying. Neither of stan and ayer think there is a self contraction.
