| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this dissertation is to explore the relationship between ＂Cogito＂ and ＂God Existence＂ through Descartes′ discussion of ＂Cogito＂ and then lead to the issue of ＂God Existence＂.
In the first meditation, Descartes first denies all the knowledge he has known and believes that all knowledge from sensory experience needs to be doubted and cannot be confirmed, and proposes that everything should be re-examined, leaving only the knowledge that has been experienced. The argument confirms what is credible, and discards the part established by perception and experience that cannot prove its authenticity; and next to forward ＂I think, therefore I am＂ in the second meditation, because ＂I think＂ is the only identifiable mental activity, Different from the knowledge and concepts formed by perception and experience, the way of proving ＂I exist＂ through ＂I think＂, and the argument of ＂I am＂ becomes the only verifiable truth when the second meditation is completed. When demonstrating ＂I think, therefore I am＂, it also becomes the basis for other things to be re-examined. If other things cannot be proved by reason like ＂I think＂, that is, the light of nature, their existence cannot be confirmed. authenticity. And to further infer the existence of God in the third meditation, the philosophical argument he put forward is to prove the existence of God in the same way as in the previous two meditations to prove the existence of cogito. The fourth meditation, after confirming the existence of God, verifies the distinction between truth and falsehood, while in the fifth meditation, under the analytical understanding of natural light, it again demonstrates the unshakable nature of God’s existence, and believes that God’s existence It is the basis upon which all knowledge can be regarded as correct, the credibility of which must be attested by God.
Descartes demonstrated the perfect and infinite essence of God by means of demonstration, and explained the essence of God with his definition of the term ＂God＂. The essence represented by God is included in our definition of this term, God It is the highest being, so it must contain the greatest perfection, infinity and omnipotence, and its existence is the proof of its perfection. If God does not exist, it cannot be regarded as perfection; as Descartes argued, the existence of God cannot be confirmed by experience and senses, and in Descartes′ argument, the ＂I＂ can prove the existence of through the ongoing activities of thinking, and confirm the existence of God through rational arguments. The relationship between God and cogito It is the key to how we understand the existence of this world. | en_US |
