Paper Summary:
This paper analyzes Descartes's theories in his "Meditations on First Philosophy", as well as provides some criticism and weak links found within his theories of philosophy and theology.From the Paper:
"Rene Descartes is now considered the father of modern philosophy. In his Meditations on First Philosophy, he threw out the Aristotle view of knowledge in that all knowledge comes from the senses. He asserted that truly justified knowledge comes from mathematical reasoning that can only be found in the human mind and that the senses are deceiving; his theory is groundbreaking at that, but does all knowledge truly come from inner thinking?"More papers on "Meditations on First Philosophy":
