This lecture discusses the 16th century philosopher Rene Descartes' work The Meditations on First Philosophy, and focuses on his second meditation. One of Descartes' most famous philosophical concepts is that of the "Cogito", "I think". This lecture explores the modes of thinking that Descartes discusses, and the relation between thinking and existence for the knowing subject.
