Rene Descartes‚ a rationalist‚ said that each person contains the criteria for truth and knowledge in them. Finding truth and knowledge comes from the individual themselves‚ not necessarily from God. Descartes also believed that reason is the same for every single person. Descartes believed that nothing could be true unless we as humans could perceive it. He also believed that you could break down things into smaller simpler parts. Descartes also believed that there was a relationship between

Socrates and Descartes have profoundly changed the philosophical thought of occident. Being both great thinkers‚ it is essay to portray their differences and similitudes base on how well they always exposed them. Descartes documented all his work; however‚ there is not any document written by Socrates himself‚ but by his student‚ for instance‚ Plato. Socrates was born 469 BC. He bounced between two branches of philosophy‚ ethics and epistemology. Ethics is the philosophy that tries to understand

researching Locke’s ideas and how they ultimately derive from experience‚ as well as examining his account of the origin of the idea of God‚ it is evident that Descartes’ alternative source of our idea of God challenges and contradicts Locke’s account. Locke states‚ “Experience is the source of all our ideas” (366b). On the other hand‚ Descartes says the following about God: “ God a certain substance that is infinite‚ independent supremely intelligent and superbly powerful…” (51b). Following these concrete

I found Descartes’ way of thinking very interesting when compared to Aristotle. Descartes doubts the existence of God when he decides to start over and completely ignore his senses. He states in his third meditation‚ “…and I do not yet even know for sure whether there is a God at all…I must examine whether there is a God‚ and if there is‚ whether he can be a deceiver.” (25) Descartes makes a goal for himself to find out if there is a God and who he is. According to Aquinas we will never be able to

largely by experience‚ observation‚ and sensory perception. René Descartes and John Locke‚ both seventeenth century philosophers‚ are often seen as two of the first early modern philosophers. Both Descartes and Locke attempt to find answers to the same questions in metaphysics and epistemology; among these: What is knowledge? Is there certainty in knowledge? What roles do the mind and body play in the acquisition of knowledge? Descartes and Locke do not provide the same answers to these questions. In

Rene Descartes were among the first to break away from the conventional views of their times to find a place for science in a society and propose the way it should be practiced. All three authors agree on some points but differe markedly on others. Bacon insists on the importa nce of experimentation and relative uselessness of senses and experience‚ while Decartes thinks them imporatnt for understanding of nature. Galileo stresses the need for separation of science and religion‚ while Descartes

will argue that the clearest difference between Descartes and Nietzsche here is that whereas Descartes thought that ideas are passive‚ Nietzsche thought the opposite. Well‚ Descartes tries to prove the existence of God‚ which is the condition of establishing/ensuring an external world‚ including inter-subjectivity‚ in his view. God is a precondition of the innate ideas and connection with the surrounding world. There’s no doubt in the mind of Descartes that God exist. Hence‚ he is claiming that faith/religion
