Use the book “Voices of Wisdom” a multicultural philosophy reader. Author is Gary E. Kessler. Anyway this can be done?
The metaphysicians we have studied each have their own unique main tenet for explaining the answer to the question “What am I?”
For Descartes, it was: “I think therefore I am,” which entailed two distinct types of fundamental existence - that of body and that of mind - interacting with each other.
For Sartre, it was “existence precedes essence,” which entailed the dissolution of any human essentialities (like a non-spatiotemporal God or ‘mind’).
Provide an analysis of one of these tenets. Do not use any outside sources. DO use quotes from the actual text which you are analyzing. Explain it as though your reader has no acquaintance with the text or the philosopher who wrote it.
