1. Even after trying to doubt everything, Descartes is still convinced
that he exists. He then turns to an investigation of what exactly he is.
What does Descartes decide that he is?
2. What does Descartes say about the relationship between his mind/soul
and his body? Could one exist without the other?
3. Descartes says that he has many ideas that seem to him to be caused
by corporeal things or bodies. Descartes is concerned though that sometimes
his senses fool him and it could be that no corporeal things exist and
that these ideas are caused by something else. How does Descartes finally
decide that corporeal things do exist? (Note: corporeal means something
like "material" or "physical" here.)
4. According to Descartes, is the mind divisible into parts? Is the
body?
