Not Descartes’ method, but mine.

I’m writing about philosophy, but I want to make it clear that I’m not a philosopher; at best, I’m a student of philosophy.  (I suppose you could call me a philosophomore.)  I’ve given my reasons for rejecting the modern philosophy I’ve encountered, and my reasons for thinking that St. Thomas and Aristotle have something to teach me.  Consequently, I’m trying to learn from them; and in my recent posts I’m trying to share the things that I’ve learned.  I am in no way trying to argue rigorously for these positions; I’m simply trying to explain them as best I can.  In short, if you think I’ve asserted something without adequately supporting it, that’s quite likely the case; and if it bothers you, let me know.  I might be able to cast more light on it.
