06 | Descartes - Unraveling the Mind-Body Problem

In this episode, we delve into the philosophy of René Descartes, exploring his method of Cartesian doubt and his famous conclusion, “I think therefore I am.” We examine Descartes' evil demon thought experiment, the mind-body problem, and its connections to modern ideas like simulation theory and theories of consciousness. The discussion also touches on the implications of Descartes' ideas on the nature of reality and the existence of God.
