[quote:Anonymous Coward 26681822:MV8yMTUwMDQzXzM2MzM0NTExXzkwOTAwQTM3] [quote:Anonymous Coward 26851286:MV8yMTUwMDQzXzM2MzMzODg5X0RBODY5MkE2] Hi Descartes, how's it going? difficult to tell exactly what descartes meant by "think". Does it include all things mind? conscious experience / sensations? Experiences are being experienced - There is a thing experiencing, with which i identify myself; therefore I exist. So you could stop "thinking" as such - switch off the internal monologue / contemplation - and still be experiencing. [/quote] He means all mental activity. It's in Meditations, book 2. Thus it includes sensation, perception, cognition, reasoning, self-consciousness, etc. But he says you can conceive of sensation without an object. So he thinks the subjective acts of thinking don't presuppose an external world. [/quote]
