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 / On Intellect & Knowledge
[ send me this paper ]
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 paper ]
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.

Descartes and Siddhartha/A Comparison
[ send me this paper ]
Descartes and Siddhartha/A Comparison : An 8 page comparison between Rene Descartes' seventeenth century masterpiece, Meditations on First Philosophy, and Hermann Hesse's novel, Siddhartha.

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.

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.
