Re: Descartes and Certainty
[ QUOTE ]
This is what Descartes was trying to do, and if he had succeeded, he would have revolutionized philosophy, possibly to the point that most of the great questions could be answered (in this case the existence of God). I think that counts as pretty meaty philosophy, just as molecular biology is pretty meaty science.

You make it sound interesting enough so that I had the opurtunity to rethink my position. I didn't change my mind. I don't think failure is meaty other than to realize not to go down that road. Just assume that the world exists as given.
