The Philosophy and Epistemology of Renê Descartes
In this video, the narrator mentions about the philosophy and epistemology of Descartes. He explains the way Descartes thought how one can know what is true, real, or exist. It's the main question for Philosophy, of course. The narrator supports Descartes' world view, gives references from him. Even he calls Descartes a genius. Descartes attributes existence to thought. If I'm able to think, I have to be exist, something has to be exist. In the video, the man talks about Descartes' life a little bit. He tells where he came from, where he went to, where he was born, etc. It may seem to be unnecessary thing, but I think It's required to understand the conditions of the period he lived in. Then, he talks about the contributions of Descartes to the modern philosophy. He expalins the sentence "I'm thinking, therefore I am" very neatly and briefly. Therefore, anyone who knows a little bit English can easily understand this topic. Generally, I found this media very beneficial and professional. He knows what to tell, and knows how to tell. There are no distracting elements in the video. Nevertheless, some image could be more useful for better understanding of Descartes.
