• You should type your answers into this Word document (first download it to your desktop from Canvas), keeping both the original question and its number.
• You’ll upload these completed homework questions/answers to our Canvas course by the Sunday 11:59PM deadline for credit.
• Read the Homework Guide under our Week 3 module for more tips on how to improve your homework assignments.

NOTE: It is critical that the answers you provide are written in your own words. Only when you choose to quote directly from the textbook, may you borrow/copy the words of your author or his subjects, and then you must set out the copied/quoted material with quotation marks and page number reference noted in parenthesis at the end of the quote, e.g. (30). The point here is to develop the ability to discuss history in your own words, using occasional quotes with proper formatting. Anyone found to be copying words from the text and not properly quoting them will be penalized with a zero or reduced score for plagiarism.

Short Paper on Descartes.

In his celebrated “Dream Argument,” Descartes maintained that we should not trust any test that purports to distinguish dreaming from waking states. For any test you can think of, Descartes argued, you can never know whether you actually performed the test (and so have in hand useful test results) or whether you merely dreamed that you performed it (and so do not have any test results — the test never took place because you merely dreamed that you performed it!).

Your assignment this week is to apply Descartes’ argumentation to the “pinch test,” according to which if you pinch yourself hard right now and feel a sharp stab of pain then you know that you are awake. Please be sure that your essay addresses the following:

1. What would what would Descartes conclude about the reliability of the pinch test?
2. Exactly why would he conclude this?
3. Do you agree with Descartes’ reasoning and conclusion? Why or why not?

Please ensure that your essay addresses each component of the assigned questions and that your answer is well-organized, uses excellent, college-level prose, and makes judicious use of textual evidence. Your essay should be 600-900 words long.
