It has been said that Meditations on First Philosophy derives all of its major conclusions in metaphysics (the dualism of infinite souls and one extended reality), physics (the structure of the physical world outside the mind as geometric), psychology (the dualism of Mind-Body interaction, free will and mechanization of the body), epistemology (truth gathered from intuition, sensation as private experience, essence-existence distinction) and the theology (theism or occasional-ism) derives from God’s benevolence.
