RLG200H1 Lecture Notes - Religious Experience, Intentionality
Document Summary
We as human make authoritative claim about the world around us representation model. Two substances thinking and physical world which are complete separate, so how can a thinking world make claims about the physical world (renee dacart?) All the info we get from the physical world is suspect, things look differently close than far away. The only way we can claim to know is to ignore all info from our senses, so renee doubts absolutely anything (sense, religion ect. ) To get away from his doubt he says there is one thing he can"t doubt: I think therefore i am : can"t doubt that there is something that is doing the doubting i doubt therefore i am , step back from experience. Someone else steps back and says experience is all we have. And we can only know what we know from experience. The question is how to get away/around the problem of mind vs matter.
