Descartes: The Great Doubter. This paper discusses Descartes insisting that the mind and body would have to be different substances. This philosophical conclusion was the result of his radical doubt about everything that could possibly be a concern within philosophy. He wanted to get rid of the preconceptions that might lead him to erroneous conclusions, by clearing away all suppositions and leaving only that which he could be sure of. 6 pgs. 12 f/c. 2b.
