Activity 5 - Problem of the Self (RENE DESCARTES)

1. Do you agree with the statements about the self (body & soul) so far?
According to the philosophers mentioned in the lesson, what makes the self true are the
body and the soul, which is quite accurate because we would not exist without the body and the
soul. The soul becomes wrapped within the body, which is then referred to as the self.
Therefore, I agree with the statement about oneself.
2. What seems to be questionable in their conjectures?
I don't see anything questionable about their conjectures since their theories are quite
accurate and true. They have shown that the self is made up of the body and the soul.
Furthermore, their concepts aid in my understanding of myself.
