Existence: Cartesian Thought Vs Advait Vedanta
Philosophers and neuroscientists explore the nature of existence, questioning whether thought alone defines it. Descartes’ ‘I think, therefore I am’ contrasts with views that existence precedes thought, encompassing embodiment, relationships, and even non-thinking entities. Advait Vedanta distinguishes the true Self from mental activity, emphasizing existence beyond thought as the ultimate reality.
