Read and prepare with your team to present. (alt. Meditations site with sec.4) To help prepare for your presentations review a model for close reading and critical review of philosophical literature together with assessment expectations. Abstracts on the Descartes readings will soon be due.

Descartes method ultimately leads us to the mind body problem.

Descartes readings can be found by clicking the links.

For review: If you're reading the Palmer text, the ancient philosophers including the pre-Socratics, Plato, and Aristotle are covered in the first 92 pages and we take up the Palmer text again with Descartes at page 160 - 180
