ABSTRACT
The ‘circularity’ objection is, of course, only one of many significant objections to Descartes’s reasoning in Meditation III. Descartes’s proof of the existence of an all-perfect God, from the idea he finds in himself of such a being, seems to be subject to even more difficulties than most purported theological proofs. I do not propose to discuss this argument in detail. I will merely briefly sketch the argument (or the core of the argument), and offer one specific objection to it.
