Talk Back to Me
We stand on the shoulders of Giants, who have gone before us, as men, just like us, to try to understand what it true and what it means for a thing to be true. For Descartes, his Meditations on First Philosophy includes the line that divides the mind from the body. Since it is possible that our senses to be tricked, it is possible that all of our senses can be tricked at the same time. If that is true, how can we even know that we exist. And from this we get the line, "I think, therefore I am."
But this isn't the first time mankind has concerned itself with the mind-body distinction. Plato and his influence also depends on there being a difference between the idea of a thing, and the physical thing we interact with.
