About this document

Descartes by Monique Cobian is a document available to read on EtoBox.

1) Descartes distinguishes between modes and attributes of substances. Modes are properties that can change while attributes never change. 2) Descartes later defines attributes as aspects of substances that are indistinguishable from the substance except through reason alone. 3) This implies that for Descartes, substances and their attributes are identical in reality and only distinguished through thought/reason. Attributes are reduced to substances in reality.
