Re: Descartes and Certainty
I don't think the proofs work at all. Using physical proofs is useless, as he can't be sure the physical world (or anything else) even exists. I don't really see how one can "disprove" solipsism, so offering proofs against it seems like a waste of time.
Of course, Descartes's logic is circular, but I get the feeling you both knew that already.
