THEN, write assignment:
This assignment has two parts. Each can be answered in a very short essay. Please note that this assignment has a word limit, each part cannot exceed 200 words.
1) Descartes is extremely famous for his sentence “I think; therefore I am.” In “Meditation Two,” he states that insight in a different way: “So that it must, in fine, be maintained, all things being maturely and
carefully considered, that this proposition (pronunciatum) I am, I exist, is necessarily true each time it is expressed by me, or conceived in my mind.” 1) How does Descartes argue to that conclusion: what
reasons does he give for believing it? What is the significance of this discovery; how does he intend to use this knowledge? (max. 200 words)
2) Describe the wax experiment. What does it teach the meditator about physical objects? (max. 200 words)
