Status Updates From Introducing Descartes

I’m enjoying it so far! Seems to be a good light read. Maybe a little lacking in depth, but then again I’m not that far into it.

This “guide” is refreshing my mind of what i already knew while going beyond. It’s definitely preparing me for the further reading i plan to do. Descartes has always been a favorite of mine, despite not knowing more than the “basics”

“God may well exist, but not because of the Causal Adequacy Principle. Ideas in the mind are “real” in a very different sort of way from the way in which things or beings are “real” – even divine ones. It seems that some of the old Scholastic doctrines were still very difficult for Descartes to discard. He was a great and original thinker, but, like all of us, also a product of his time.” - i didnt ask for commentary

This is actually such a fun idea, quite easy for beginners to understand and explains very well while also giving context and linking to their scholars - this is an easy read philosophically speaking!
