Sub-section one : rene Descartes : meditations on first philosophy

Read the following passage and answer the questions below :

What then will be true? Perhaps, just the single fact that nothing is cerain .but how do I know there is
not semthing else, over and above all those things that I have just reviewed,concerning which there
is not even the slightest occasion for doubt? Is there not come God,or by whatever name I might call
him, who instils these thoughts? But why would I think that, since I myself could perhaps be the
author of these thoughts? Am I not then at least something ? but I have already denied that that I
have any senses and any body. Still I hesitate; for what follows from this? Am I so tied to body and to
the senses that I cannot exist without them? But I have persuaded myself that there is absolutely
nothing in the world: no sky, no earth, no something. But there is some deceiver or other who is
supremely powerful and supremely sly and who is always deliberately deceiving me. Then too there
is doubt that I exist, if he is deceiving me. And let him do his best at deception, he will never bring it
about that I am nothing so long as I shall think that I am something. Thus, after everything has been
most carefully weighed, it must finally be established that this pronouncement : “Iam , Iexist “ is
necessarily true every time I etter it or conceive it in my mind.

Questions

a) Indicate the main theme of the rtest above and its logical structure
b) Explain the following :
 i) “hiw do I know there is not something else … concerning which there is not even the

conceive it in my mind”

v) Why does Descartes think that we should not make a direct pronouncement on the
immortality of the soul?
vi) Is Cartesian subjectivity of any relevance to the philosophical enterprise ?

Read the following passage and answer the questions below :

The first societies were governed by the aristocratic form of government .the family heads discussed
public matters among themselves, and the youths yielded without reductance to the authority of
experience.hence,the nemes of priests, elders, senators, and gerontes . the savages of north America
are still governed like this till date and they are very well governed

But as the inequality produced by institutions prevails over natural inequality, weath and power were
preferred to age, and the aristocrary became elective. Finally, the power transmitted with the
property of the father to the children, made thr families to become patrician, produced a hereditary
government, and introduced senators of twenty years old.

There are therefore, three types of aristocracy: the natural, the elective and the hereditary. The first
is suited only to simple peoples; the third is the worst of all governments. The second, which is true
aristocracy, is the best.
