Abstract

Although it is true that many have found fault with Descartes calling his proofs for the existence of God doubtful, and his understanding of the relationship of mind and matter fallacious, he is worthy of study because of his contribution to the doctrine of certainty. It is the purpose of this paper to discuss Descartes’ philosophy as a method of certainty.
