Descarte 2
.... an infinitely perfect being or God must exist.
Here is the argument that Descartes gave:
(1) I’m able to form image which is more perfect than myself and therefore it must be derived from something at least as perfect as the image that I had formed.
(2) The perfect image that I formed must be from the most perfect being.

.... the impact of that information on society and future generations, as a whole, will be limited.

This is due, once again, to the grossly exagerated social caste system that existed during this period. The immense majority of the population had no time for education their lives were consumed by a constant struggle to survive. With all wealth concentrated on the .....

Descartes 2
.... The dreaming argument is centered around differentiating our awakened mind from sleep. Descartes uses this technique and builds upon it to show that an external world doesn’t exist.

Descartes Epistemology
.... of his consciousness, but how can any of this ever lead to any knowledge of anything outside of himself? The answer is that, by itself, it can't.
Descartes establishes that the human mind is better known than the human body. He states that no belief based on sense-perception is free from doubt. Thus he cant be certain about the existence of his hands, head or body in general since they are all perceived through his senses. Descartes tries to show that we know bodies through reason and not through .....

Descartes Knowledge
.... we are not thinking things is still a thought and therefore
proof that we are thinking things. For it is not conceivable for one to think of a point at which we are not thinking.
We can try to persuade ourselves that there are times when we are not thinking but in doing so we see that we do

Roosevelt obtained the assent of Chiang Kai-shek to these measures, the Soviet Union would agree "that China shall retain full sovereignty in Manchuria" and would conclude a treaty of friendship and alliance with the Chiang Kai-shek government.

Unfortunately, when the .....
