The mind turns to itslef, returning to its principle by which it is like. This reversion ( to pros 'eauto epistrepikon) of the mind returns to the source as the innate ideas, and ultimately in its immateriality and simplicity, it is the same as itslef. Though Descartes is the father of modern philosophy, starting at the individual(or would that be particular) subject, he also rests on the whole Platonic and Medieval tradition, with the One and the the Good, through the immaterial mind. Thank you.
Thank you! I'm studying for my exam and could not find this point in my prof's lectures. Would Descartes say that because imagination requires sensory input of external objects, this aids in his argument for the evidence of bodies?
I don't understand that Descartes said on one hand that we don't need the imagintion, but instead only the thinking, but we need it in order to have something we can doubt so we can proofe our existance right?
Thank you for these videos! They are great.
You're welcome!
