Document Summary
It is not possible to doubt our existence while we are doubting i am thinking therefore i exist. In this way, we discover the difference between a soul and a body (thinking thing v. corporal thing) Nothing attributable to a body belongs to our nature. Knowledge of thought is more certain than knowledge of an corporal thing. 9. what is meant by (cid:1688)thought(cid:1689) not only imagining, understanding, and willing but also of sensory awareness. 10. simple matters are often made more obscure by confusing logical definitions. 11. our mind is better known than our body nothingness possesses no attributes or qualities, so the fact that our mind manifests attributes proves our existence. 12. take ourselves in the context our our minds alone. 13. knowledge of all other things depends on the knowledge of god. 14. external existence is contained in the idea of a supremely perfect being.
