In this course lecture/discussion video from my Spring 2013 Introduction to Philosophy class at Marist College, we continue and complete our study of Rene Descartes' Discourse on Method, focusing in particular on all of part 4, some of part 5, and a bit of part 6 of the Discourse. We discuss the famous Cartesian "cogito, ergo sum," Descartes argument for God's existence, his criterion of "clear and distinct" perception for knowledge, the "Cartesian Circle", Mind-Body dualism, and then finish up by discussing how to tell humans apart from robots

I am taking a Humanities Course and my first paper was about Descartes' Discourse on Method IV...I read this several times and still had difficulty understanding the concepts. I watched this video and was able to write an A paper...because I understood what was going on. Thank you so very much for making this available.

I am getting ready for finals, and listening to just one of your classes has helped me so much...I really wished you had made one on Loeb's solution to the Cartesian Circle....Thank you so much for making the time to explain something that can be confusing so well...Please continue the good work, many will be appreciate what you do...

@@GregoryBSadler Haha! Since you replied, please let me say that your lecture on Descartes is excellent. I am putting together a course on Sun Tzu (and a generalized approach to strategic thinking) and got wondering if Descartes' description of method might help clarify Sun Tzu's notion of method. Your lectures have helped immensely.

I can certainly say that meditation can clear your mind and dont have to be dependant on mobile phone or any of that stuff, maybe it helps but in long term what does that bring to us .
