End of Module Assignment: The Meditations

The Meditations on First Philosophy is very rich and rewarding text and certainly bears up well with further study. But for the purposes of this course–introducing a few eternal questions of epistemology, studying the methodology of thought experiments, and connecting the practice of philosophy to the art of film–the First Meditation is especially significant.

The Essay Prompt

Explain Descartes Method of Doubt. A thorough explanation of the Method of Doubt, in context, will address these three points:

What is the method of doubt?
Why does Descartes use the method?
What is the result of the method?
(In essence, this question asks you to explain the beginning of Descartes Meditations, up through the discovery of the cogito.)

(This question is slightly atypical in that you will not be writing a persuasive essay (or an argumentative essay). The task here is explanatory–Why does Descartes do what he does in the First Meditation?–and a narrative style–This is what Descartes did and these are the reasons why he did it!–will work well. Tell the story of the beginning of the Meditations in your words.
