“Thus the perception of the infinite is somehow prior in me to the perception of the finite, that is, my perception of God is prior to my perception of myself. For how would I understand that I doubt and that I desire, that is, that I lack something and that I am not wholly perfect, unless there were some idea in me of a more perfect being, by comparison with which I might recognize my defects?” -René Descartes, Meditations on First Philosophy (Metaphysics)
When I was younger, I thought that the well-known quote by Descartes, “Cogito, ergo sum (I think, therefore I am)” was quite a silly and shallow thing to say. But as I’ve matured over the years, and recently centered my research on Descartes and his works, I found that his quote is not as shallow as I ignorantly thought. Above all, I very much loved what I’ve read from his Meditations of First Philosophy, and Discourse on the Method. Rene Descartes is keen on developing his reasons in a systematic/logical order. The art of logic is the doctrine that he follows heavily in his works, from what I’ve gathered thus far. With that in mind, and understanding his educational background/upbringing, I have quickly grow fond of René. Plus I really enjoyed his self argument for God’s existence, and why he concludes it to be so.
Such a delightful read. I seriously recommend this work.
