Descartes
In Rene Descartes Meditation V, he distinguishes the existence of God, believing he must prove that god exists before he can examine any corporeal objects outside of himself. By proving that the existence of God is not a sophism, he also argues that God is therefore the Supreme Being and the omnipotent one. His conclusion that God does exist enables him to prove the existence of material things, and the difference between the soul and the body. Ideas, innovations, and inventions are all created from brilliant minds. Descartes believes that God is the cause of new innovations adding, therefore God instilled in us the idea of his existence. An example of his presumption of the existence of God would be the fact that if one cannot imagine a bookshelf without books. Descartes follows by stating that “he cannot conceive God without existence, existence is inseparable from him.” After settling that God exists in his first few passages, Descartes adds that God is the perfect being. It is not a necessity to imagine a perfect being rather a thought that has run through our mind. It is imperative that these characteristics are always attributed to the triangle, likewise the attributes of a perfect being are placed on God.
