Some Aspects of Descartes Epistemology and Metaphysics

Author(s) Ruman Debnath
Country India
Abstract Rene Descartes was know as father of Modern western philosophy and he was an one of the most prominent Rationalist philosopher. Descartes method of doubt should not be confused with skepticism. He is not asserting that whatever can be doubted is false, but he is only supposing it to be false. He believed that clear and distinct perceptions were a mark of truth. Descartes' metaphysics focused on the basic structure of reality, including the mind-body relationship. He argues that the "Mind" is indivisible and "Body" is divisible. Dualism is the theory that the mental and the physical or mind and body or mind and brain are in some sense, radically different kinds of thing. According to Descartes, is metaphysics, which contains the principles of knowledge, such as the definition of the principal attributes of God, the immaterially of the soul, and of all the clear and simple nations that one is us. Descartes argues that, cogito ergo sum (I think therefore I am) is the first final certainty and as such we have to be careful in it's interpretation as well as in deciding it's position in the Cartesian philosophy.
Keywords Rationalist, Skepticism, Epistemology, Doubt, Dualism, perception, Metaphysics, Cogito ergo sum.
