Descartes Meditation Iii Summary Essay - 836 Words

Juliana Tabor Professor Webb Introduction to Philosophy 4/1/13 Descartes: Meditations 3 In Descartes’s Meditations III, the Meditator describes his idea of God as a substance that is infinite, eternal, immutable, independent, supremely intelligent, supremely powerful, and which created both myself and everything else.(70) Thus, due to his opinion in regards to the idea of God, the Meditator views God containing a far more objective reality than a formal one. Due to the idea that of God being unable to have originated in himself, he ultimately decides that God must be the cause of the idea, therefore he exists. The meditator defines God as such, â€Å"by ‘God’ I mean the very being the idea of whom is within me, that is, the possessor†¦show more content†¦The idea cannot be contingent, as well as created by the Meditator. If the objective reality of any of my ideas is found to be so great that I am certain that the same reality was not in me, either formally or eminently, and that therefore I myself cannot be the cause of the idea, then it necessarily follows that I am not alone in the world, but that something else, which is the cause of this idea, also exists. (74) Therefore, the Meditator was created by God with the idea of God naturally in him. Furthermore, God is not a deceiving being, due to the fact that deception derives from flaws, and a faultless higher being contains none. I have no choice but to conclude that the mere fact of my existing and of there being in me an idea of a most perfect being †¦ demonstrates most evidently that God too exists.Show MoreRelatedMetz Film Language a Semiotics of the Cinema PDF100902 Words   |  316 PagesToward a Phenomenology of the Narrative, 16 II Problems of Film Semiotics Chapter 3.
