The Cartesian Attack
After further examining the written account of Rene Descartes, we've realized that our last post about it was a bit wrong. The statement "I think, therefore I am" was an idea Descartes actually wanted to correct. He was, too, oppising that certain sentence, but not in the way we do. He said that "I am, I exist" is a better way of explaining our existence. Why? Because thinking and existence does not have a causal realtionship; they coincide. Nonetheless, we still find Andrew, the I-can-exist-without-thinking man, an exception. Andrew will someday cause the change in the curriculum of Philosophy.
