Please respond to one of the following questions in a roughly four-page essay. I am mainly interested in your ability to reconstruct Descartes arguments in your own words as clearly and precisely as possible. Essentially, you are being asked to summarize and critically evaluate a portion of the Meditations.

Make sure to include:

  • an appropriate, informative title

  • a clear, argumentative thesis (typically located in an introductory paragraph)

  • properly formatted foot/endnotes (your choice, or just internal citation)

  • a list of works citedeven if you only use the course textbook. This is not a research essay, so you only need the primary text.

  1. What is the role of skepticism in the first two meditations? What are the different stages of methodological doubt? Do you think he overcomes the problem of skepticism in the cogito? Explain why you think his argument succeeds or fails.

  1. In the text, Descartes provides several arguments for Gods existence. First, explain why Descartes thinks he has to prove Gods existence (or in other words, how do the proofs fit into the overall argument of the Meditations). Next, pick either one of the two arguments from the third meditation and explain how it works. Does it succeed or not? Does Descartes ultimately manage to overcome the problem of solipsism?

  1. Descartes is typically described as a substance dualist. Explain what this means in the context of the sixth meditation, and explain how Descartes attempts to prove the separation of mind and body. To answer this completely, you will need to provide a thorough summary of how he thinks the mind and body differ. Do his arguments succeed? Is dualism correct? Explain.
