I think, therefore I am. Rationalist philosopher and mathematician René Decartes, considered the father of modern philosophy, held this as self-evidently true. In this program, Bernard Williams of Kings College examines Decartes' theory of knowledge and his use of skeptical inquiry to affirm reality, including the existence of God. Descartes' theory of physical and mental substances, and Cartesian dualism—which allows the concept of science to coexist with the notion of God—are examined.

    So I got an e-mail that bumped this video page. I'm in university. Enjoy philosophy now, I actually took it as an elective last summer. Don't be so butt hurt over an opinion next time. Peace.

    This comment is brilliant because this person is so fucking stupid there's literally nothing you can say back to it because he doesn't know what the words 'rebuke' and 'rebuttal' mean.

    Crikey dick.
