RENE DESCARTES (1595-1650) "I am thinking therefore I exist." (Latin: Cogito ergo sum) from the Discourse on Method Rene Descartes was a famous French mathematician, scientist and philosopher. He was arguably the first major philosopher in the modern era to make a serious effort to defeat skepticism. His views about knowledge and certainty, as well as his views about the relationship between mind and body have been very influential over the last three centuries. Regulae or Rules for the Direction of Mind written in 1628-9 but not published until 1701. This work shows Descartes interest in method which he shared with many sixteenth and seventeenth century scientists, mathematicians and philosophers. One source of this interest in method was ancient mathematics. The thirteen books of Euclid's Elements was a model of knowledge and deductive method. But how had all this been achieved? Archimedes had made many remarkable discoveries. How had he come to make these discoveries? The method in which the results were presented (sometimes called the method of synthesis) was clearly not the method by which these results were discovered. So, the search was on for the method used by the ancient mathematicians to make their discoveries (the method of analysis). Descartes is clearly convinced that the discovery of the proper method is the key to scientific advance. For a more extended and detailed discussion of these methods, see John Cottingham , The Rationalists

[Back To A List Of Philosophers] Ren‚ Descartes Descartes was a French mathematician and philosopher. It was Descartes who formulated the axiom, Cogito ergo sum , "I think therefore I exist." Descartes was a product of the church and his philosophy reflected the times in which he lived. Descartes was a dualist , viz., a man was of two natures, a spiritual nature and a temporal nature. Now whether this was a belief held deeply, might be a matter of some question, what is clear is that he would have professed his beliefs, such, that, they were in keeping with the doctrine of the time, as promulgated by the all powerful church. As a dualist, Descartes, would have accepted that there exists a priori truths (truths not derived from experience; truths such as the existence of God). And, while Descartes accepted some ideas were developed from experience, he was steadfast in his belief that certain ideas were innate. By pure deduction Descartes evolved for himself entire universes that neither he, nor anyone else, could perceive by the use of their natural senses. All that was necessary, for Descartes, was intense self examination and intense reason, and, through this process, all would be revealed. Descartes, it would seem, in his philosophical work, continued along the same lines of the church philosophers:

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.

René Descartes René Descartes (1596-1650) René Descartes Discourse on Method Meditations on First Philosophy It was probably during the first years of his residence in the Netherlands that Descartes wrote his first major work, Essais philosophiques Philosophical Essays ), published in 1637. The work contained four parts: an essay on geometry, another on optics, a third on meteors, and Discours de la méthode Discourse on Method ), which described his philosophical speculations. This was followed by other philosophical works, among them Meditationes de Prima Philosophia Meditations on First Philosophy , 1641; revised 1642) and Principia Philosophiae The Principles of Philosophy , 1644). The latter volume was dedicated to Princess Elizabeth Stuart of Bohemia, who lived in the Netherlands and with whom Descartes had formed a deep friendship. In 1649 Descartes was invited to the court of Queen Christina of Sweden in Stockholm to give the queen instruction in philosophy; in this year he also published the work called The Passions of the Soul . The next year, however, the rigors of the northern winter brought on the pneumonia that caused his death on February 11, 1650.

For more information on the book see the publisher In identifying certain historical persons involved with Rosicrucianism we need to keep in mind that because of various religious and political persecutions of centuries past, Rosicrucians, for obvious reasons, were sworn to secrecy regarding their membership. Even known Rosicrucian apologists such as Robert Fludd and Michael Maier never publicly verified their Rosicrucian affiliation. And yet, we know that a number of historical figures were Rosicrucian, and if one looks closely there are various references suggesting Rosicrucian affiliation that are often overlooked by historians as being insignificant. For example, the Royal Society of today is derived from the efforts of a group of known Rosicrucians: Theodore Haak, John Pell, and Samuel Hartlib, to name but a few. The group was first known as the "Invisible College," later as the "Rosicrucian College," and finally as the "Royal Society" a name conferred by King Charles II in 1662.

Descartes, René (15961650) Frenchman Descartes received an excellent education in law, mathematics, physics, mechanics, and acoustics, first at a Jesuit school and then at the University of Poitiers. He met and developed a lasting relation with the popular mathematician and communicator Father Mersenne. In 1619, Decartes told his colleague Beeckman about a new science that he had developed, which was called analytic geometry. As a young adult, he served in the army of several nations. Later, he lived in Holland where he did most of his mathematical work. Descartes' Discours de la m thode Discourse on Method , 1637) presented several fundamental theories. Its historical foundations rested in the classical texts of Pappus and Diophantus. Descartes sought a symbolic algebra where problems of any sort could be analyzed and classified in terms of the techniques required for their solution. The appendix of this book was entitled La g om trie As a philosopher, Descartes tried to purify algebra by separating the theory from the techniques and applications. Descartes' work was an important step in the development of calculus. The Cartesian coordinate system is named in honor of Descartes.

I think therefore I am" Rene Descartes Rene Descartes (1596?-1650) Biography : Born near the small town of La Haye, France, Descartes spent much of his childhood being raised by his grandmother. His mother died shortly after childbirth and his father was a well educated lawyer whose duties kept him at practice mainly in the town of Brittany, 150 miles away. Though while still young his intellectual capacity came to be noticed by his father. Upon turning the ripe age of ten, young Rene was sent to study at the best and most progressive school in France at the time: the college at La Fleche. It was there that Descartes was educated in biology that was heavily entrenched in concepts originating with Aristotle. These were of course the soul or psyche in the original Greek. There were three levels of soul according to the doctrine that Descartes was taught: 3 vegetative souls which could nourish and reproduce; 2 sensitive souls that provided higher functions like movement, memory, and imagination; and of course the 1 rational souls enabling reason. Having absorbed the doctrines taught to him as a student, Descartes began down a path as a strict rationalist. Having at one point convinced his teachers that his best thinking was done lying about in bed. This meditation and a vision he had while meditating had led to his
