This lecture discusses the 16th century philosopher Rene Descartes' work The Meditations on First Philosophy, and focuses on his first meditation. It examines his consideration of the possibility that there is no God, the possible other causes for how things are, and the implications for the possibility of attaining certain knowledge.
