>implying you can quantify 'goodness'

if you could sum up Descartes whole philosophy into one sentence, what would it be?

>Less-good philosophies like a religion
descartes worked for the catholic church that paid for his every meal and roof over his head. his shit was based in self evident truths, its all complete bullshit. his meditations show hes not a complete jackass but his mind-body split is one slippery slope step away from instituionalised schizophrenia (mind-mind split) and that institution is the christian society we live in and the beliefs it upholds. show me some guy with a battle axe cleaving his skull in two now thats a mind-body split.

Literal pseudo intellectualism.

Obviously you haven't read any Descartes. After figuring out he exists, he proceeds to try to reverse-engineer some justification for the existence of the abrahamic god.

Hume and Stirner are who you're looking for.

>makes one assumption

>Descartes' "i think therefore i am" makes one assumption and reaches a correct conclusion.

And what would falsify this?

Materialist like Hobbes, Descartes shuts him down though.
