well saidalthough they seemed to miss the fact that language is merely a tool to convey the approximate state of one or more concepts from one mind to another, and I think that animals do that perfectly well (and between their own species, probably even better). I think that the whole non-conscious animal thing is a throwback to a Christian world-view. And don't get me started on the fact that when Descarte said 'I think therefore I am' he pre-supposed the existence of an 'I'.

I agreein Descates' Meditations he explains in the first chapter how he must doubt everything. then goes on this massive leap of faith that he exists because he doubts and doubt is a type of thinking. seems contradictory, in my opinion.
although, his ontological argument in the next chapter is second to none (as st anselm makes very little logical sense)
and im guessing this post is going to be particularly squashed up.
