 Out project was on Chapter 21 of The Little Prince. In the front it shows the little prince, the fox, the rose, an eye, a heart with yellow lines shooting out of it, and aluminum foil in the back. In the dark center it shows Descartes writing down his ideas and thoughts, a window, book case, portrait, chandelier, table, chair, and cobble stone floor. The little prince, the rose, and the fox represents relationships, our universal theme. The eye and the heart represent symbolism, our literary device. The ripples or foil represents impact, our gate icon. The yellow lines represents power, our generalization. Descartes represents parallel, our gate imperative.
For our abstaction ladder we started off with lead for the first rung of the ladder. Then, we put manufacturing, bullet, gun, humans, and for the sixth rung we put choice. Each rung led to the next and each rung got more abstract and less detailed. The top two rungs are chaos and order. The abstract art below represents the top rung order. The boxes represent order because they are not out od place and they are just sticking together in order. The outside represents chaos because the colors are crazy and different and they are all sqiggly going different directions, like choice on our ladder.  4. What does "I think, therefore I am" mean now that you have read Descartes' writings and explored his philisophical viewpoints in class?
"I think therefore I am" after reading Descartes writings and exploring his philisophical viewpoints in class now means that your existence cannot be doubted. Descarte looked for a statement that could not be doubted that we existed. He found that he could not doubt that he himself existed because he was the one doing the doubting in the first place. The act of thinking or percieving is an irrefutable truth. Since he is thinking, which means his brain exists, he himself must exist as well as the rest of human beings. |
