He established a new, clear way of thinking about philosophy and science by rejecting all ideas based on assumptions or emotional beliefs and accepting only those ideas which could be proved by or systematically deduced from direct observation. He took as his philosophical starting point the statement Cogito ergo sum "I think, therefore I am."

In somewhat different form, it is also found in Augustine (354-430), who thought that the mind can have absolute and certain knowledge only about what is directly and immediately presented to it. Being a mathematician Descartes decided to apply the so certain-seeming methods of mathematical reasoning to philosophy. "Good sense is of all things in the world the most equally distributed, for everybody thinks he is so well supplied with it, that even those most difficult to please in all other matters never desire more of it than they already possess." (from Compendium Musicae , which was written in 1618. In 1619 he served in the Bavarian army. While on duty at Ulm, he devised a methodology for the unification of the sciences.

Net Tantra Who is Descartes? Why the big deal? He could be quite justifiably called the Father of Modern Philosophy. Descartes is regarded as the bridge between scholasticism and other schools of philosophy that followed. He provided a link to physics and philosophy. It was he who developed the'X','Y' and 'Z' coordinates to locate a point in 2 or 3 dimentions. We also owe the analytical geometry to him (Quite naturally, dont we know that!) Thanks to him you are able to use algebra and calculus to solve geometrical problems. In addition to the convention of exponent notation, his other contribution to Algebra is the treatment of Nagative Roots. Tell us something about his philosophy. He asserted that thinking is the sole aim, meaning and purpose of living! This (in my opinion) is opposed to "Hedonism" which believes in pleasure as the sole aim of humankind. His theory in a nutshell is 'cogito ergo sum' meaning,'I think, therefore I am'

Rejecting the Aristotelian philosophy of the schools, the authority of tradition and the authority of the senses, he built a philosophical system that included a method of inquiry, a metaphysics, a mechanistic physics and biology, and an account of human psychology intended to ground an ethics. Descartes was also important as one of the founders of the new analytic geometry, which combines geometry and algebra, and whose certainty provided a kind of model for the rest of his philosophy.

In fact, he is the first philosopher to begin with the impressions which are in our intellect (intellectual phenomenalism) and lay down the laws which reason must follow in order to arrive at reasonably certain philosophical data. This phenomenalism does not find its full development in Descartes. Indeed, Descartes reaches metaphysical conclusions which are no different from those of Scholastic philosophy. He maintains the transcendency of God, upholds human liberty and Christian morality.

Visit the Molecular Expressions Website Galleria Photo Gallery ... Home René Descartes René Descartes is often referred to as the father of modern philosophy for his revolutionary breach from Aristotelian thought. In its place he attempted to establish a dualistic system that rested on a clear distinction between the mind, the origin of thought, and matter. He is, perhaps, most commonly remembered for his philosophical declaration, "Cogito, ergo sum" (I think, therefore I am). However, in addition to his many philosophical reflections, Descartes made significant contributions to mathematics and the sciences, including optics. Born in La Haye, France on March 31, 1596, Descartes was raised in a family of minor nobility. His father served in Parliament and his mother died when he was still an infant. Though his father remarried, Descartes and his siblings were reared by their maternal grandmother and a nurse. In his youth, Descartes was educated at a Jesuit school and displayed an exceptional mental capacity. He graduated from college at the age of eighteen and had received a law degree by 1616, perhaps with the intention of entering Parliament like his father. Descartes spent the period from 1618 to 1628 traveling extensively throughout Europe, at times a member of various military units. Though he was not often involved in combat, Descartes did come into contact with various notable intellectuals, such as physicist Isaac Beeckman who encouraged his scientific and mathematical pursuits. Perhaps even more influential on Descartes' life, however, was a set of three dreams he had in 1619, which he interpreted as a sign that all science was unified and could therefore be mastered by a single person if a correct method of knowing, or reasoning, was established. The majority of his life was dedicated to demonstrating that he had discovered such a method.

Library Rene Descartes Online Dictionary Spelling Center Rene Descartes René Descartes was born in La Haye (now called La Haye-Descartes), into a well-to-do family. His mother died soon after his birth. Joachim, his father, was a judge in the High Court of Brittany; he soon remarried, and Descartes was brought up by his maternal grandmother. At the age of ten he was sent to the Jesuit College at La Flèche in Anjou, where his masters allowed him to stay late in bed because of his poor health. Descartes later described La Flèche as one of the best schools in Europe. Descartes studied classical literature, history, rhetoric, and natural philosophy. In 1616 he obtained a degree in law from the University of Poitiers. At the age of twenty-two, he enrolled in the Protestant Dutch army of Maurice of Nassau. He spent several years as a soldier and met the Dutchman Isaac Beeckman, who awakened his interest in mathematics. For Beeckman he dedicated one of his earlier works, Compendium Musicae , which was written in 1618. In 1619 he served in the Bavarian army. While on duty at Ulm, he devised a methodology for the unification of the sciences. According to a story, Descartes had spent a cold morning in a "stove-heated room" (or, according to some sources, in a large oven or poêle), and when he came out, half of his philosophy had got ready. "I saw quite clearly that, assuming a triangle, its three angles must be equal to two right angles; but for all that I saw nothing that assured me that there was any triangle in the real world. On the other hand, going back to an examination of my idea of a perfect being, I found that this included the existence of such a being, in the same way as the idea of a triangle includes the equality of its three angles to two right angles... Consequently it is at least as certain that God, the perfect being in question, is or exists, as any proof in geometry can be." (from

Institute and Museum of History of Science, Florence, ITALY The main characters René Descartes. Cartesian vortices R. Descartes, Principia Philosopiae Descartes is one of the main figures in Western philosophical and scientific culture. The inventor of a system of thought which marked out an epoch, he initiated a new movement in philosophy. He was also, at the same time, a mathematician of genius, to whom we owe the creation of a crucial branch of modern mathematics: geometrical analysis. Cartesian physics also plays a fundamental role in the history of science, enjoying a wide diffusion and reputation throughout Europe. Based on a strictly mechanistic system, in which phenomena are explained purely in terms of matter and local movement, the cartesian vision had the rejection of the void as one of its bases. Descartes in fact claimed that the fundamental attribute of matter was extension. No physical being could exist if it did not occupy space; therefore everything that materially exists has a spacial dimension - it is "extended substance". In this sense, the void, that is, an "empty space", is absolutely impossible: given the identification of extension and matter, there can be no part of space in nature devoid of matter. Those parts of space which seem to be "empty" are, in fact, "full", even if they are full of different matter than ordinary space, more rarified and imperceptible, what Descartes called "subtle matter". According to Descartes, it is just such "subtle matter" that we mistakenly call the "vacuum".

Terug naar index Geschiedenis Inleiding Descartes was een notoir langslaper de grondlegger van de moderne filosofie beschouwd. Descartes: Een filosoof op zoek naar kennis , en zijn onderzoek behoort tot de epistemologie , die zulke vragen beschouwt als: wat kunnen we weten? hoe komen we tot echte kennis? hoe kan ik zeker zijn dat wat ik geloof ook het geval is? Een tweede probleem dat hem interesseerde was de relatie tussen 'ziel' en lichaam of, in hedendaagse terminologie, de relatie tussen bewuste toestanden en overtuigingen enerzijds, en de hersenen en de zich daarin afspelende processen anderzijds. Op dit punt was hij een dualist. 'Je pense, donc je suis' - ik denk, dus ik ben We kunnen eigenlijk niets weten In zijn wilde Descartes aantonen dat we in staat zijn tot echte kennis van de wereld. Hiermee ging hij in tegen een bekende sceptische traditie, die stelde dat we eigenlijk weinig of niets kunnen weten; dat we er slechts meningen op na kunnen houden die we nooit volledig kunnen begronden. Natuurlijk hadden de sceptici tot op zekere hoogte gelijk: we hebben geen enkele garantie dat onze opvattingen over de wereld juist zijn. Daarom mogen we geen beroep doen op zulke opvattingen om de scepticus te weerleggen. Descartes stelde dan ook dat we ons enkel op ons verstand of de rede kunnen beroepen om de scepticus te weerleggen.
