This video lecture is about Rene Descartes’ third Meditation on First Philosophy. It is part of an introduction to philosophy course. In this meditation Descartes offers a cosmological proof of the existence of god. The attempted proof starts from the fact that Descartes has the idea of an all perfect being. He argues that only a creature with infinite formal reality could create an idea like this because this idea has infinite objective reality. Descartes does not himself have enough formal reality to be the source of his own idea of God. So God must exist.
Also, here is the link to the video that I mentioned where I explain the difference between arguments and conclusions:
And here are the videos about meditations #1:
