Be a philosopher, but amidst all your philosophy, be still, a man - David Hume

In this fourth episode of our Descartes series, we closely examine the ideas of truth and falsity, as proposed by Descartes. We also consider the compelling notion of Dualism he sets forth. We start to see the formation of the rationalist and empiricists positions clearly, as well as the split between idealism and materialism. We see how Descartes uses the idea of dualism to put forth his ideas for Christianity and the independence of the soul, as his mind is a res cogitans, or a thinking thing.

Always feel free to let us know what you think, or any episode requests. We would love to hear from you!

Thank you for listening and we'll see you next time as we search for truth on the road that never ends!
