Descartes / On Intellect & Knowledge
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page paper that describes Descartes basic theory behind the development of intellect and knowledge as they relate to perceptions of experience. Descartes believes that any understanding of intellect or knowledge of the world around must be based in a deductive process of the mind and not in the constantly variable realm of experience. Because experience can be both true and false, Descartes argues that this makes experience an impossible basis for the knowledge. This paper gives primary support for a major theory of Descartes: 'I think therefore I am.'

Descartes / Of Sound Mind and Body ? -- Version 2
[ send me this essay ]
A 9 page paper postulating that : 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 of deductive reasoning through the processes of skepticism. He requires that his methods be based on rationality and fundamental truth, but these are assumed by Descarte and subjective to his belief systems. In all, Descartes was only rationalizing truth for himself. Therefore, we have looked at scientific inquiry based on Descartes methods as inherently flawed--with some exceptions. Bibliography lists 8 source.
