Joseph Almog
This chapter explores one kind of thinking fact — thinking about the sun. It presents three of Descartes' principles of thinking about the sun: (i) the inadequacy of predicative contents; (ii) one object, two modes of being; and (iii) to be conceived it must be caused.
Keywords: Descartes, thinking, sun, predictive contents, being, reality, question, painting passage
