A CLEAR AND DISTINCT IDEA OF GOD.
A CLEAR AND DISTINCT IDEA OF GOD. Father John McNeill has died (wikipedia entry here). He was Mary Jane’s philosophy professor at Le Moyne College and a brilliant teacher.
Mary Jane likes to quote Professor MacNeill’s observation that it was remarkable that when DesCartes was basing his philosophy on clear and distinct ideas, he chose to begin with his clear and distinct idea of God.
