Meditiations On The First Philosophy

In Meditations on First Philosophy, French philosopher René Descartes, now regarded as the father of Western philosophy, introduces the concept of the dichotomy-the separation of mind and body-by determining, "I think, therefore I am." Over the course of six meditations, each presented as though they were the meditations of a single day, Descartes contemplates certainty and uncertainty, dismissing everything that cannot be known definitely, and making a case for the few things that can indeed be known-first ascertaining the truth of his own existence and then that of God.
