Rene DescartesThinkers

Beauty is totally subjective and dependent on individual conditions.

The Body is a collection of nutrition, movement, and sense perception, and is positioned against what becomes an attribute of the transcendental subject, the 'I'.

The Body is a fleshy machine possessed by us. A mechanical part of nature with no thoughts, feelings, or experiences of any kind. Pain was a disturbance of the machine.

Cartesian dualism is the notion that the body is material, the mind is immaterial, and that the two have a causal relationship.

Common sense is the most fairly distributed thing in the world, for each one thinks he is so well-endowed with it that even those who are hardest to satisfy in all other matters are not in the habit of desiring more of it than they already have.

Consciousness is the absolute certainty of my existence for myself, the condition without which there would be nothing at all and the act of relating as the foundation of relatedness.

Curiosity is a blindness that possesses one, giving him no reason to hope for success, but making him willing to risk the experiment of finding whether the truth he seeks lies there.

Doubt is something which arises so it is utterly incoherent to attempt to feigned or create doubt for the purpose of conducting philosophical inquiry.

Duration is a mode under which we conceive of that thing as long as it continues to exist.

Duration is an attribute or mode of the being of things, while time is a subjective mode used as a measure for motion, with duration being held to be prior to time.

Existence is not necessary, but if I am thinking then I, necessarily, exist.

Existence is the existence of the ego or subject. Whatever else exist exist because it is represented in it.
