"I think, therefore I am."
Rene Descartes
Life and Times Rene Descartes was born in La Haye, France on March 31, 1596. He as the son of a noble of the robe he was well placed: his father was a counsellor to the Britainy law court; and his maternal grandfather and great-grandfather had been physicans. His formal education began at the age of eight at the La Fleche, a Jesuit college in Anjou. He studied classics, logic, mathematics and traditional Aristotelian philosophy at La Fleche and later studied law at the University of Poitiers in 1616. He next enlisted in the military school at Breda and within about two years he had joined the Bavarian army. The military, however, was only a diversion. He furthered his knowledge of mathematics, the only subject he considered worthwhile, and mechanics under Isaac Beeckman , a Dutch scientist. While on an extensive trip through Europe from 1620 to 1628 (with his aristocratic background he never had to consider earning a living) Descartes was in Paris when he made contact with Mersenne , the 17th century French mathematician, famous for his investigation of large prime numbers. The Mersenne connection was a conduit for Descartes to the scientific world. His "Grand Tour" included Bohemia, Hungary, Germany, Holland and France. He attended the University of Franeker in 1629 and the University of Leyden in 1630: obtaining degrees was not Descartes' concern.

Mystical World Wide Web Rene Descartes
Rene Descartes is labelled as the first modern philosopher. Born in La Haye in Central France he was left an annual income for life by his father who was a prosperous lawyer. His early education was from the Jesuits which he then went on to gain degrees in Civil and Church law at the University of Poitiers. He is most famous for his statement of principal of certainty and validity, "I think therefore I am." His main argument was that God did not create people with unreliable senses, which we conclude Descartes believed "sense" information is an individuals only accurate depiction of the environment. Descartes always maintained that the role of the brain was to be a transitional agent between spiritual energies of the mind and physical forces of bodily mechanics. When he died in 1663 all his books were placed in The Index of Forbidden Books by the church. Cartesian dualism (the interaction between Mind and Body) asserts all human activity excluding thinking and feeling come under the heading of Bodily Physiology and can be said to be the study of the psychophysilogical. He is credited for directly stimulating the founding of psychology which in turn now gives us the discipline known as parapsychology. Although many psychologists have difficulty in applying some of the theories of parapsychology to psychology, as both of them rely heavily on scientific (statistical) data. BACK 2 MAIN SUBJECT GRID

Rene' Descartes biography
The French philosopher Rene Descartes lived from 1596-1650.
The French philosopher Rene Descartes lived from 1596-1650. He was the son of an aristocrat and traveled throughout Europe studying a wide-variety of subjects including math, science, law, medicine, religion, and philosophy. Descartes was greatly influenced by other thinkers of the Age of Enlightenment. bodyOffer(18168) Descartes develops a correspondence theory of truth. However, for Descartes, truth is always going to have to remain private. He believes we have direct and immediate contact with our own ideas. Whatever we see we bring back to our minds. If we don not like what that something, then we distort it. Our eyes and other senses distort the truth and can deceive us. Descarte says: I have accepted as possessed of the highest truth and certainty I have learned either from the senses or through the senses. Now these senses I have sometimes found to be deceptive; and it is only prudent never to place complete confidence in that by which we have even once been deceived. (Descartes, Rene, "Meditations," Struhl, Paula Rothenberg, and Struhl Karsten J., editors, Philosophy Now. Random House: 1980, P. 88) Our eyes and other senses distort the truth and can deceive us. We must use both the mind and the senses, we must observe nature and analyze what we see. This is the law of nature Descartes discovers, and his idea, "I think, therefore I am," corresponds to it, therefore it is true. However, in order to discover truth we must be totally neutral. We cannot allow our senses to deceive us in the pursuit of truth.

LINKED LISTS
CONTENTS
Introduction Example
INTRODUCTION
One of the most useful applications of records is to define organisations of data in which distinct items are linked together using a reference to another record (sometimes called pointers or access values in other languages). The simplest general form of a group of linked records is a linked list (more complex forms include trees of various types). In a linked list each record includes a reference to a following record. The final record has the value null indicating that the last record in the linked list has been reached. Figure 1 shows a linked list of date records of the form described earlier. Figure 1 The standard mechanism for processing linked lists is to step through the list, using some form of loop construct, until the terminating null reference is reached.
EXAMPLE
Table 1 shows a linked list of FamousPerson records. The code includes methods to:
  • Build up the list so that records are order alphabetically according to last name and first name.
  • Code to output the list to the screen.

The mind influences the body and the body exerts a greater influence on the mind than previously supposed. The relationship is not in one direction only but rather is a mutual interaction Argued that the mind has a single function: thought. All the other processes were functions of the body. Shifting methods of inquiry from subjective metaphysical analysis to objective observation and experimentation Applied the physics as a model (body is like a machine) Theory of reflex action; external objects (stimuli) can bring about an involuntary response = undulatio reflexa (he proposed based on his observation that some response are derived without conscious awareness). Human behavior is predictable Mechanical interpretation of body According to him, mind is non-material: it lacks physical substance but it is capable of thought and other cognitive processes. Identified conarium as a point where mind and body meets Doctrine of ideas Derived ideas;

Rene Descartes
While the great philosophical distinction between mind and body in western thought can be traced to the Greeks, it is to the seminal work of René Descartes (1596-1650), French mathematician, philosopher, and physiologist, that we owe the first systematic account of the mind/body relationship. Descartes was born in Touraine, in the small town of La Haye and educated from the age of eight at the Jesuit college of La Flèche. From 1612, when he left La Flèche, until 1628, when he settled in Holland, Descartes spent much of his time in travel, contemplation, and correspondence. From 1628 until his ill-fated trip to Sweden in 1649 he remained for the most part in Holland, and it was during this period that he composed a series of works that set the agenda for all later students of mind and body. The first of these works, De homine was completed in Holland about 1633, on the eve of the condemnation of Galileo. When Descartes learned of Galileo's fate at the hands of the Inquisition, he immediately suppressed his own treatise. As a result, the world's first extended essay on physiological psychology was published only well after its author's death. In this work, Descartes proposed a mechanism for automatic reaction in response to external events. According to his proposal, external motions affect the peripheral ends of the nerve fibrils, which in turn displace the central ends. As the central ends are displaced, the pattern of interfibrillar space is rearranged and the flow of animal spirits is thereby directed into the appropriate nerves. It was Descartes' articulation of this mechanism for automatic, differentiated reaction that led to his generally being credited with the founding of reflex theory.

Damasio, Antonio, Descartes Error: Emotion, Reason and the Human Brain, Avon Books 1995 Amazon Customer Review: eviewer: Ever since the Renaissance roughly two different camps have existed. One (still the predominant paradigm today) is the rationalistic school represented by Descartes et al., the other represented by Hume, Rousseau et al. The latter group postulated a great many things about how emotions and feelings were important, but no proof could be produced at the time. With Antonio Damasio's book, however, we finally have the proof we have waited 400 years for! Emotions are indeed important, and the body and mind are not seperate entities but rather a united whole. This is not just a philosophical matter now, but a scientific theory corroborated by clinical evidence. Damasio even describes accurately just how these emotions and feelings influence and guide us. ... ' Jesper,
