This is a video lecture about the sixth and final Meditation on First Philosophy by Rene Descartes. In it, Descartes argues that the physical world outside of his own mind does exist, though it may be that he is wrong about some of the specific details of physical reality. He does this by arguing that God would be a deceiver if there were no physical world in general, but a few mistakes here or there do not demonstrate that God is a deceiver. He then offers two arguments for Dualism, the theory of mind according to which the mind and the body are two distinct things. The conceivability argument comes first, but it is more complicated, so I don't discuss it here because this is part of an introduction to philosophy. The divisibility argument is discussed at length. The basic idea is that the mind and body cannot be the same because the mind is indivisible while the body is divisible.

See the way that he explained such a complex topic in such a simple way? That's what makes a good professor, your students are very lucky!

Anyone else notice how his references are actually on-point but he says “or something / or whatever”? Super relatable, and helps to push aside the less important aspects of what he’s teaching. Love your videos!

I'm just baffled by how good your teaching skills are! I'm grateful I know English so that I can access your classes and learn about Descartes. Thank you!
Best regards from a Brazilian!

Thank you so much for this series of videos.
The way you sometimes jump forwards and backwards, but always with a purpose of carefully leading your viewers steadily to understanding is just wonderful.
It's like you took something that is often dry and dusty, and injected life into it.

I started having questions about the existence of existing myself and my therapist told me to study some descartes. It surprised me how this evolution of thought by "proving" that I use in my thinking was also used by philosophers. It is very easy to forget that we live in a world made by people, and that, although we may not be brilliant like some, we are just humans in the end. Thank you for the vid :)

I love my professor dearly, but he can be so confusing. Thank you for clarifying the real distinction for me, it is really going to make my essay that much better.

A clock tells time, in this sense it is indivizible. If you divide a clock, it stops telling time.
