The Fallacy of the Strahman Fallacy

The claim is that Descartes commits the fallacy of the Strahman fallacy. He sets up an argument which he claims is Aristotle's argument and then he attacks that argument but he doesn't understand the original position, the original Aristotelian argument. So his entire counter-argument fails to address the issue. And so this is what Descartes is reacting against when Professor Cicada was talking about him being in dialogue with scholasticism - also reacting against it.
