In the Sixth Meditation, Descartes writes
I first take notice here that there is a great difference between the mind and the body, in that the body, form its nature is always divisible and the mind is completely indivisible.
Descartes’s argument can be expressed as follows:
All bodies are divisible.
Use an Euler diagram to determine whether the argument is valid or invalid.

Remember that: A matrix is in row echelon form if Any row that consists only of zeros is at the bottom of the matrix. The first non-zero entry in each other row is 1. This entry is called aleading 1. The leading 1 of each row, after the first row, lies to the right of the leading 1 of the previous row.arrow_forward
