Paper Summary:
In this article, the writer studies three passages from key early modern philosophers - Montaigne, Descartes and Pascal - that all represent attempts to explore the nature of identity within the modern context. This essay argues that while these philosophers' approaches and methods may differ, they share a complex vision of the exercise of Reason to discover certainty and, alternately, uncertainty. As is demonstrated, these explorations represent critical stages in the development of the modern conception of human consciousness.More papers on Nature of Identity:
