Question: For Descartes, what is his philosophical perspective of "self". Make it briefly
Asked by Mortytsup
For Descartes, the concept of "self" is rooted in the philosophy of "Cogito, ergo sum" which means "I think, therefore I am". This takes a dualistic perspective wherein he separates the mind (thinking entity) from the body (physical entity). Thus, the "self" according to Descartes is primarily a thinking, conscious entity and holds its existence separately from the physical world. This self-awareness proves to him his existence beyond any doubt.
