Kluwe René Descartes 1596 - 1650, Stockholm French theorist who developed the mechanical philosophy, which was highly influential until superseded by Newton's methodology. He believed that matter had no real qualities, but was simply the "brute stuff'' which occupied space. He divided reality into the res cognitas (consciousness, mind) and res extensa (matter, extension). His mechanical philosophy led him to believe that the universe is a plenum in which no vacuum can exist. In Traité de l'homme (Treatise on Man) (1664) and Passions de l'âme (Passions of the Soul) (1649), he expounded the view that an animal was an automaton lacking both sensation and self-awareness, and that only man was endowed with a soul. He generalized Harvey's mechanical interpretation of circulation, believing that the heart is an automatic mechanical pump. He also believed that colors were caused by the rotation of "spheres'' of light, using the tennis ball as a model of a spinning sphere. He, unlike Newton believed that white light was the pristine form. Descartes gave the first formulation of what is now known as Snell's Law of refraction. Descartes believed that God created the universe as a perfect clockwork mechanism of vortical motion that functioned deterministically thereafter without intervention.

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." Descartes made major contributions to modern mathematics, especially in developing the Cartesian coordinate system and advancing the theory of equations.

Descartes's statements on literature as such are rare and always subordinate to his philosophical concerns. His quest for a language that would convey philosophical ideas and propositions as unambiguously as mathematics is consistent with his distrust of literary language and rhetoric. He saw as detrimental and ultimately debilitating literature's capacity for creating the illusion of reality and truth. A passage from the Discourse on Method summarizes this mistrust: Fables make one imagine many events possible which in reality are not so, and even the most accurate of histories, if they do not exactly misrepresent or exaggerate the value of things in order to render them more worthy of being read, at least omit in them all the circumstances which are basest and least notable; and from this fact it follows that what is retained is not portrayed as it really is, and that those who regulate their conduct by examples which they derive from such a source, are liable to fall into the extravagances of the knights-errant of Romance, and form projects beyond their power of performance. ( Philosophical Works In philosophy's use of language, truth must have its own implacable force of persuasion, inseparable as it is, in Descartes's vision, from clarity and intelligibility.

Born in La Haye, Touraine (a region and former province of France), Descartes was the son of a minor nobleman and belonged to a family that had produced a number of learned men. At the age of eight he was enrolled in the Jesuit school of La Fl¨che in Anjou, where he spent the rest of his schooldays. Besides the usual classical studies, Descartes received instruction in mathematics and scholasticism , which attempted to use human reason to understand Christian doctrine. Roman Catholicism exerted a strong influence on Descartes throughout his life. Upon finishing school, he studied law at the University of Poitiers, graduating in 1616. He never practised law, however; in 1618 he entered the service of Prince Maurice of Nassau, leader of the United Provinces of the Netherlands, with the intention of following a military career. In succeeding years Descartes served in other armies, but his attention had already been attracted to the problems of mathematics and philosophy, to which he was to devote the rest of his life.

Elements of Cartesian Philosophy It was with the intention of extending mathematical method to all fields of human knowledge that Descartes developed his methodology, the cardinal aspect of his philosophy. He discards the authoritarian system of the scholastics and begins with universal doubt. But there is one thing that cannot be doubted: doubt itself. This is the kernel expressed in his famous phrase, Cogito, ergo sum

Z This document uses HTML 4/Unicode to display special characters. Older browsers and/or operating systems may not display these characters correctly. last substantive content change SEP Descartes' Epistemology ' approach to the theory of knowledge plays a prominent role in shaping the agenda of early modern philosophy. It continues to effect (some would say "infect") the way problems in epistemology are conceived today. Students of philosophy (in his own day, and in the history since) have found the distinctive features of his epistemology to be at once attractive and troubling; features such as the emphasis on method, the role of epistemic foundations, the conception of the doubtful as contrasting with the warranted, the sceptical arguments of the First Meditation, and the cogito ergo sum to mention just a few that we shall consider. Depending on context, Descartes thinks that different standards of warrant are appropriate. The context for which he is most famous, and on which the present treatment will focus, is that of investigating First Philosophy. The first -ness of First Philosophy is (as Descartes conceives it) one of epistemic priority, referring to the matters one must "first" confront if one is to succeed in acquiring systematic and expansive knowledge.

René Descartes Durante a Guerra dos Trinta Anos (1618-1648), que envolveu a Alemanha numa luta religiosa e política, toda a Europa estava em ebulição. Enquanto cidades eram destruídas e populações inteiras se empobreciam, o Estado moderno consolidava os seus fundamentos. Modificava-se toda a escala dos valores consagrados pelo homem renascentista. Surgia o racionalismo. Tendo vivido e produzido nesse período, René Descartes pertenceu a uma época de transição e dela tomou emprestadas todas as contradições. Descartes nasceu em Touraine, em La Haye, a 31 de março de 1596, de uma família da pequena nobreza. Era o terceiro filho de Joachim Descartes, deputado no parlamento francês. (Casa natal) Menino doente, os médicos predisseram-lhe uma vida breve; por isso seu pai, temeroso de fatigá-lo com os estudos, quis retardar sua instrução. Mas o jovem mostrava uma intensa curiosidade por tudo quanto o cercava. Assim, foi mandado, com a idade de oito anos, para o colégio jesuíta de La Flèche, aos cuidados de um parente, o Padre Charlet, reitor do estabelecimento. Este chamava o garoto de "o meu pequeno filósofo", pela sua grande inclinação para o raciocínio e para a reflexão. De índole amável e espírito vivo, tornou-se o favorito dos padres. Em consideração à sua fragilidade física, foi-lhe permitido estudar o que preferisse e permanecer no leito por toda a manhã, hábito que Descartes conservou pela existência inteira.
