Document Summary
Ren descartes: the author does not have a sufficient understanding of what this "i" is that now necessary exists. I exist - that is certain but for how long. I know that i exist; the question is what is this i that i know. A thing that doubts, understands, affirms, denies, is willing, is unwilling and also imagine and has sensory perceptions. Correspondence between descartes and princess elisabeth - pg 1-2, 4-5. She asks given the soul of the human being is only a thinking substance, how can"t affect the bodily spirits, in order to bring about voluntary actions?" Minds and machines - aubrey townsend and richard hanley. Thinking machines: to have thoughts is to have a mind or psychology, to be intelligent and to reason, a machine can simply be a computer suitably programmed, such as a laptop or a giant super computer.
