Analysis Of Meditation Three By Rene Descartes

In “Meditation Three” Rene’ starts out with an attempt to contemplate the existence of God by closing his eyes and meditate. He his struck by the very thoughts that every individual does at the initiation of this process. He starts out by purging his thoughts but upon realizing the impossibility of his action he starts objectifying them. The injection of god happens when he contemplates that deception might occur of evidentiary matters. Yet he profoundly asserts himself in a moment of spontaneity about his perception of certain things and his own existence. In this journey of thoughts, he sets out to find evidence of God’s existence rather than just believing that God exists merely because he can think. He believes the production of ideas …show more content…
He is on a journey to shed a light of the physical world and material things around him that he senses. He is considering about conceptual ideas to be true and are immutable laws of nature rather than his own fabrication.

He finds himself in the maze of circular reasoning about not erring about God because God is an entity that cannot err so the premise fulfills the conclusion. He is satisfied not knowing the reasons for his imperfection and relinquishes his critical intellect to mere some reasoning the supreme creator has. His reasoning for human errors is a simultaneous concurrence of intellect and will. He agrees that all the intellect should not be given to one person rather than be distributed amongst many. He also agrees that his intellect, faculty of understanding, memory or imagination are highly feeble and limited that of God.
