In this paper‚ I will dissect Descartes current and former beliefs about his-self and the world. I will then argue his belief that he is merely “a thing that thinks” and why that is a flawed belief. Descartes once thought of himself as a man. He was a body that could taste‚ smell‚ see‚ move‚ and most of all; perceive.
