Suprise Ending

SURPRISE ENDING Name: Institutional Affiliation Discourse on the Method (Part IV) Introduction In this article, Descartes takes consideration of the mental states that occur when we are either awake, asleep or in a dream, and that he attests have no truth substance in them (Descartes, n.d). The author of the material therefore embarks on a project aimed at testing the levels of truth in providing the existence of God and the human soul, an aspect that is based on the established metaphysics. Surprise Ending In establishing the existence of the human soul, Descartes takes pretense in order to prove that he had nobody and that there were no facts that would establish a place for him to be in, an aspect that proves his inexistence (pp.15) According to Dickinson (2015), the fact that he doubted the truth of his existence, the significant truth was that he existed (pp.332). This clearly depicts the element of surprise ending since the author establishes that he was a substance whose essence was simply to think, an aspect that depicts the consciousness in the mental states that does not need place and primarily depends on material things for existence (Bombała, 2014). One of the astonishing elements that surprise me is the authors view in attesting that the soul makes an individual what he is, an element that depicts its distinctness from the body. This therefore convinces my perception that the things we conceive may be considered as vivid truth since it is not difficult to determine the conceptions that are clear. On the other hand, Descartes takes a stance is establishing the reason why there is a difficulty in knowing the Godhead figure and in establishing whether a soul exists in God. This is attributed to man’s inability to raise his thoughts above things that are preconceived by their senses, an aspect that results from the thoughts that are influenced by material things that imagines, pictures and arrives at a conclusion (Groarke, 2015). My surprise is intrigued in the fact that the philosophers considered in their senses that nothing within their intellect was previously filled in their senses, an element that is purported by Guseinov (2013) to drive people towards funding God and the soul significantly a problem since the idea of God and the soul have never been instilled in our senses (pp.18). However, upon the certainty of God and the soul, Joullié (2016) alleges that it is easier for humanity to understan...
