Episode Synopsis "Episode 7 - Analysis of Descartes' Second Meditation (Part 2)"

In this episode we will be finishing our analysis Descartes' second meditation. There are a lot of themes to keep track of in this episode, including separating epistemic and metaphysical arguments, as well as tracking where doubt is still present and where it is not. While it is a challenging episode, it highlights the sort of conceptual organising that is a requirement for philosophical analysis.
