21. Rene Descartes (1596 - 1650) René descartes (1596 1650). From `A We may consider descartes as the first of the modern school of mathematics. René descartes http://www.maths.tcd.ie/pub/HistMath/People/Descartes/RouseBall/RB_Descartes.htm

From `A Short Account of the History of Mathematics' (4th edition, 1908) by W. W. Rouse Ball. We may consider Descartes as the first of the modern school of mathematics. was born near Tours on March 31, 1596, and died at Stockholm on February 11, 1650; thus he was a contemporary of Galileo and Desargues. His father, who, as the name implies, was of good family, was accustomed to spend half the year at Rennes when the local parliament, in which he held a commission as councillor, was in session, and the rest of the time on his family estate of Les Cartes He resigned his commission in the spring of 1621, and spent the next five years in travel, during most of which time he continued to study pure mathematics. In 1626 we find him settled at Paris, ``a little well-built figure, modestly clad in green taffety, and only wearing sword and feather in token of his quality as a gentleman.'' During the first two years there he interested himself in general society, and spent his leisure in the construction of optical instruments; but these pursuits were merely the relaxations of one who failed to find in philosophy that theory of the universe which he was convinced finally awaited him. In 1628 Cardinal de Berulle, the founder of the Oratorians, met Descartes, and was so much impressed by his conversation that he urged on him the duty of devoting his life to the examination of truth. Descartes agreed, and the better to secure himself from interruption moved to Holland, then at the height of his power. There for twenty years he lived, giving up all his time to philosophy and mathematics. Science, he says, may be compared to a tree; metaphysics is the root, physics is the trunk, and the three chief branches are mechanics, medicine, and morals, these forming the three applications of our knowledge, namely, to the external world, to the human body, and to the conduct of life.

Philosophy Pages F A Q Dictionary ... scholastic philosophy and troubled by skepticism of the sort expounded by Montaigne , Descartes soon conceived a comprehensive plan for applying mathematical methods in order to achieve perfect certainty in human knowledge. During a twenty-year period of secluded life in Holland, he produced the body of work that secured his philosophical reputation. Descartes moved to Sweden in 1649, but did not survive his first winter there. Although he wrote extensively, Descartes chose not to publish his earliest efforts at expressing the universal method and deriving its consequences. The Regulae ad directionem ingenii Rules for the Direction of the Mind ) (1628) contain his first full statement of the principles underlying the method and his confidence in the success of their application. In Le Monde The World ) (1634), Descartes clearly espoused a Copernican astronomy, but he withheld the book from the public upon learning of Galileo's condemnation. Descartes finally presented (in French) his rationalist vision of the progress of human knowledge in the Discourse on Method ) (1637). In this

Cogito, ergo sum , "I think, therefore I am." From that point onwards in European culture, subjective truth would hold a higher and more important epistemological place than objective truth, skepticism would be built into every inquiry, method would hold a higher place than practice, and the mind would be separated from the body. Enlightenment Reader Discourse on Method 2 and 4 In his book, Discourse on Method Descartes outlines his skepticism, his method for inquiring into the truth, and his arrival at his famous conclusion (called the cogito , after the first word in the Latin sentence). However, these achievements obscure the crucial role Descartes played in practically every other area of the Enlightenment. Descartes was a pretty smart fellow who established several patterns for modern Europe to follow: he laid down the idea that the thinking mind was somehow more real than the body in which it is housed (this is called the Cartesian mind-body split); he established that emotions were due to the overall nature of the character of the individualcalled Cartesian affect (i.e., emotion) theory: this would become the basis of things like music education, which attempted to develop the character by producing certain emotions in students, a kind of Beethoven emotion work-out; he established the supremacy of the observer over the things he observed.

He spent the following two years in Paris, mostly devoting himself to mathematics. He studied law in Poitiers in 1616. Crombie (DSB) says that he graduated in law from Poitiers. This is the only reference to a degree that I can remember seeing, and I am wholly inclined to doubt it. In 1617 he set out for the Netherlands and the Dutch army. He wandered through Europe (at least he saw Germany and Italy, in addition to France) during the following eleven years before he settled in the Netherlands in 1628.

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 [see figure 2] 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.

René Descartes (1596 -1650) Go To: Hell Een virtueel interview met de wijsgeer René Descartes Door Herman Philipse en zijn maîtresse Beatrice Plaats: De Hel Datum: 8 februari 2000 Er komt een leeftijd dat je rijp wordt voor buitenechtelijke escapades. Ik ontsnap niet aan deze wetmatigheid maar omdat de realiteit vaak weerbarstig is, heb ik me een fictieve maîtresse aangeschaft. Ze is jong en bevallig, ze heet Beatrice, en ze heeft een passie voor de wijsbegeerte, vooral voor het werk van René Descartes (1596-1650). Het kostte Beatrice en mij geen moeite het eens te worden over de bestemming van onze virtuele wittebroodsweken. We wilden ons idool Descartes te spreken krijgen. De vraag was alleen: waar zouden we hem kunnen treffen? De zoekmachine Altavista bracht ons op een idee. Bij het commando ‘go’ vonden we ergens de bestemming ‘to Hell’. ‘Ecco’, riep Beatrice uit, ‘daar moet René D. zitten. Zijn werk werd toch in 1663 op de index geplaatst?’ Dus klikten we op ‘to Hell’. Het duurde eindeloos voordat de heftig snorrende computer de volgende tekst op het scherm wist te toveren (in het Italiaans): ‘In het midden van de reis door ons leven Hervond ik mijzelf in een duister woud

Next Back Contents Home ... Rene Descartes Chapter 2 Chapter 2 But like one walking alone and in the dark, I resolved to proceed so slowly and with such circumspection, that if I did not advance far, I would at least guard against falling. I did not even choose to dismiss summarily any of the opinions that had crept into my belief without having been introduced by reason, but first of all took sufficient time carefully to satisfy myself of the general nature of the task I was setting myself, and ascertain the true method by which to arrive at the knowledge of whatever lay within the compass of my powers. The first was never to accept anything for true which I did not clearly know to be such; that is to say, carefully to avoid precipitancy and prejudice, and to comprise nothing more in my judgement than what was presented to my mind so clearly and distinctly as to exclude all ground of doubt. The second, to divide each of the difficulties under examination into as many parts as possible, and as might be necessary for its adequate solution. The third, to conduct my thoughts in such order that, by commencing with objects the simplest and easiest to know, I might ascend by little and little, and, as it were, step by step, to the knowledge of the more complex; assigning in thought a certain order even to those objects which in their own nature do not stand in a relation of antecedence and sequence.

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'

36. René Descartes Cogito ergo sum. . rene descartes was the third child of a wellÐoff noble family. His mother died a few days after his birth, and he was a frail child. http://scidiv.bcc.ctc.edu/Math/Descartes.html

born: March 31, 1596 in France died: February 11, 1650 in Sweden This one thing [analytic geometry] is of the highest order of excellence, marked by the sensuous simplicity of the half dozen or so greatest contributions of all time to mathematics. Descartes remade geometry and made modern geometry possible. (E. T. Bell) Inventor of analytic and coordinate geometry. Cartesian coordinates. Philosopher. Dreamer. Soldier. Scientist. Skeptic. "Cogito ergo sum." By 18 Descartes was quite healthy, and he left school to begin leading the life of a "gentleman" in Paris. He seems to have found wine, women and gambling amusing for awhile, but he soon retired to a quiet suburb for 2 years to think. When his wilder friends finally found him, he decided to find another quiet place a war in Germany. On November 10, 1619 while the army was at its winter quarters near the Danube, Descartes had the most remarkable "dream" in the history of science. He reported a number of episodes in the dream, and one of them is usually believed to be the application of algebra to geometry and the beginning of analytic and coordinate geometry. Descartes remained a soldier for another 2 years and was even offered a lieutenant generalship. He then retired to Paris to think about the problems of "What can we know?" and "How can we know it?" . His first knowable fact was that of is own existence: "Cogito ergo sum." ("I think, therefore I am.") Descartes was still in Holland happily gardening, thinking and writing when 19Ðyear-old Queen Christina of Sweden decided that she must have him as a tutor in philosophy and mathematics. She sent a ship to fetch him to the court, but he kept the admiral waiting for several months before finally leaving for Sweden in the Fall of 1649. Christina was one of those people who did everything at a gallop. She ate little, needed little sleep, and was not bothered by the cold and she expected those around her to do likewise. Descartes managed to not live at the court, but Christina scheduled their philosophy class for 5 am each day, even in the cold, dark northern Winter. Descartes died the next February of an inflammation of the lungs.

DISCOURSE ON THE METHOD OF RIGHTLY CONDUCTING THE REASON, AND SEEKING TRUTH IN THE SCIENCES by Rene Descartes PREFATORY NOTE BY THE AUTHOR If this Discourse appear too long to be read at once, it may be divided into six Parts: and, in the first, will be found various considerations touching the Sciences; in the second, the principal rules of the Method which the Author has discovered, in the third, certain of the rules of Morals which he has deduced from this Method; in the fourth, the reasonings by which he establishes the existence of God and of the Human Soul, which are the foundations of his Metaphysic; in the fifth, the order of the Physical questions which he has investigated, and, in particular, the explication of the motion of the heart and of some other difficulties pertaining to Medicine, as also the difference between the soul of man and that of the brutes; and, in the last, what the Author believes to be required in order to greater advancement in the investigation of Nature than has yet been made, with the reasons that have induced him to write. PART 1 For myself, I have never fancied my mind to be in any respect more perfect than those of the generality; on the contrary, I have often wished that I were equal to some others in promptitude of thought, or in clearness and distinctness of imagination, or in fullness and readiness of memory. And besides these, I know of no other qualities that contribute to the perfection of the mind; for as to the reason or sense, inasmuch as it is that alone which constitutes us men, and distinguishes us from the brutes, I am disposed to believe that it is to be found complete in each individual; and on this point to adopt the common opinion of philosophers, who say that the difference of greater and less holds only among the accidents, and not among the forms or natures of individuals of the same species.
