Join George and John as they discuss and debate different Philosophical ideas. In this video they will be completing the discussion on Descartes Meditations on First Philosophy and looking into the sixth and final meditation.
In this video they will look at Descartes acceptance of the existence of a material world. As Descartes started off the meditations in a state of full doubt, by the end his fully believes in a physical external world. Is he justified in believing so, and is his reasoning sound?
In addition to this Descartes discusses the relation between mind and body. This is known as the Dualist mode of thought. Is the mind and body separate, and is it right to agree that if they are separate they can still intermingle.
Watch as George and John debate the final meditation in the series.
