About this ebook

René Descartes uses rational thought to argue that his essence exists in his thoughts alone. He reasons that the mind and body are distinct and separable, and that the mind, as the originator of thought, is what defines the person. This concise, essay length guide outlines the reasoning Descartes' uses in establishing his theory of knowledge, which he argues is necessary to form a 'proper foundation' for the sciences.
