DESCARTES’ SELF-AFFIRMATIVE AND OTHER-CREATED CONSCIOUSNESS.


14804. DESCARTES’ SELF-AFFIRMATIVE AND OTHER-CREATED CONSCIOUSNESS. This paper provides an analysis and explication of Descartes’ method of epistemology (outlined in his Discourses) and his two conclusions (“I think therefore I am,” and the concept of God as a being which does not doubt itself). Argues that Descartes’ proof of the existence of God seems to be guilty of the same a priori assumptions of a created consciousness as the medieval reasoning of Aquinas or Anselm. Speculates that Descartes might have been more concerned with avoiding the charge of atheism for his skepticism, than in overcoming the logical fallacies in the traditional scholastic proofs of the existence of God. KEYWORDS: philosophy Descartes epistemology. Written 2003. 6 pages, 5 footnotes, 2 bibliographic sources. 1,411 words.   $42
