Meditations on First Philosophy
Meditation #2 "The nature of the human mind, and how it is better known than the body
"I think, therefore I am"
Impossible to doubt that I am thinking
Whenever I think
I must exist
Doubting is also a thinking process
What am I ?
"I am a thinking thing"
I
have
-arms -face -hands
body
It can be perceived
shape, position, space
do
-eat. -drink. -perceive -move
THINK
done by the soul=mind
similar to wind or fire
am I a man?
What is a man?
A rational animal?
NO
Wax Argument
Wax
Perceived by the senses
-SIght -smell -touch -hearing -taste
Hard, tastes like honey, scent of flowers, cold
BUT
when put near fire
Physical characteristics change
Hence
My senses deceive me once again
Still the same wax
What is it then?
Extended, flexible and changeable body
Not my imagination
Perceived by the mind alone
Many figures, shapes and lengths
