Question: Are there any flaws in Descartes meditations!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
He said he was the only one that was real, whereas I know it's me that is the only one that's real!. Otherwise, he was right on!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I find his argument for his own existence (the one summed up by the famous "Cogito, ergo sum") quite solid!.

The argument attempting to prove the existence of God seems to me to be pure codswallop, probably necessary for safe publication at the time and quite possibly fairly representing his own beliefs, but fundamentally unsound!.
