Problem: Descartes is a representative of the rationalist perspective. Why is this the case? First, define rationalism (be sure to provide both the weak and strong definitions). How is this view of knowledge different from that of empiricism (again, discuss the strong and weak views of this doctrine)? Lastly, why is Descartes a good example of this view? How, in particular, is his proof for the existence of God evidence for his rationalism?
