Descartes Meditation Essay

Descartes holds that you are much promontory than body. Do you agree? What sort of priority does he symbolise? In the Meditation Two Concerning the Nature of the Human Mind, Descartes describes himself as if I had suddenly fallen into a deep whirlpool (pg. 492), expressing the need to drub his way up and pick up where he left moody the day before. He basically exclaims that he bequeath put complete all doubts and suppose that everything is false (492). In this meditation he plays on the concept that the mind is greater than the body.In roughly respects I do agree with what Descartes is saying about dualism concept and how we are mentation things (493). I believe the mind is more important in some manner than the body because the power the mind has to think, reason, create, dream, imagine, believe, memorize, react, desire, feel, and the ability to know and bedevil endless ideas. Descartes agrees that he doubts, understands, affirms, denies, wills, refuses, and that also ima gines and instincts (494). In this section I do agree with Descartes on his view of this thinking thing.The mind is so incredible that we humans cant grasp the intricate complexes that the mind has. When Descartes describes the climb on example I was rather confused and by and by critiquing the concept I have come to realization that it does make sense. I think Descartes was desperate to find away, some way to describe the grandeur of the mind and using this voice was a creative way to do so. So he describes this blame of mount how its vexed and cold, malleable, has a slight honey flavor (494). Then he describes what happens to this wax when it goes by means of the different temperature cycles and how the structure of the wax changes etc.So we know that when the piece of wax is going through those physical changes it still be to be the same piece. So seeing that we understand that the hard piece of wax and now melted piece of wax have the same properties mustiness not ju st come from the senses because all of the sensible properties were changed. As Descartes describes that the sense of smell, sight, touch or hearing has now changed and yet the wax remains (495). So from this one may think that the imagination is what this piece of wax is, but Descartes exclaims, Therefore this insight is not achieved by the faculty of imagination. quite he concludes that I (Descartes) perceive it through the mind alone. Learning this illustration is shows the importance of the mind and the corporeal body. That the body can take on many different changes, yet the mind is beauty behind everything. I cant say that I agree with everything that Descartes is trying to express, but I do agree with the fact there are hard concepts to grasp and understand. We each have unique mind, and understanding the mind will take time and will take patience.
