笛卡尔:我从怀疑一切开始,首先质疑感官的可靠性,因为感官曾经欺骗过我。即使我怀疑一切,我的怀疑本身就证明了我的存在,因为怀疑是一种思维活动,而思维活动需要一个思维的实体来进行。因此,我得出了“我思故我在”的结论。但这仅仅是一个起点,我需要进一步探索‘我’的本质是什么。 我曾经认为自己是一个拥有身体和灵魂的个体,但我对灵魂的本质并不清晰。我开始怀疑我之前对身体和灵魂的理解,因为一个强大的欺骗者(例如邪恶的精灵)可能在欺骗我,让我相信我拥有身体和灵魂,而实际上我什么都没有。但即使是欺骗者,也无法否认我思维的存在,因为思维活动本身就证明了我的存在。 我进一步思考‘我’的本质,我发现我是一个思维的实体,我的思维能力包括怀疑、理解、肯定、否定、意愿、想象和感觉。这些能力都是我自身的一部分,它们与我的存在是不可分割的。我不能通过想象来理解我自己,我需要通过理性来理解。我发现我无法通过想象来理解我自己,只能通过理性来理解。我的思维能力包括怀疑、理解、肯定、否定、意愿、不愿、想象和感觉。 接下来,我思考上帝的存在。我发现我心中有一个清晰而明确的上帝的概念:一个无限完美的、独立的、全知的、全能的实体。这个概念并非来自我的感官经验,也不是我凭空创造的,而是一种先天存在的理念。因为一个有限的存在不可能凭空产生无限完美的概念,所以这个概念必须来自一个无限完美的实体,也就是上帝。上帝的存在证明了我的感官经验并非完全不可靠,因为上帝不会欺骗我。 然后,我探讨了真理和谬误的来源。我发现错误并非来自上帝赋予我的认知能力或意志自由,而是来自我滥用意志自由,将我的意志扩展到我无法清晰理解的事物上。因此,避免错误的关键在于只对那些我清晰和明确理解的事物做出判断。 最后,我探讨了物质实体的存在以及心灵与身体的差异。我通过想象力来感知物质实体,而想象力是一种将我的认知能力应用于物质实体的能力。物质实体的存在也得到了我的感官经验的证实,尽管感官经验有时会欺骗我。但是,我发现我的心灵是不可分的,而我的身体是可分的,这证明了我的心灵与身体是不同的实体。尽管我的心灵与身体紧密结合,但我可以独立于我的身体而存在。
