This lecture discusses the 16th century philosopher Rene Descartes' work The Meditations on First Philosophy, and focuses on his fourth meditation. This episode discusses Descartes' assertion that the human being, considered in terms of the kind of being one is, is in a middle place between full being, i.e. the supreme being or God, and nothingness or non being.
