1. René Descartes [Internet Encyclopedia Of Philosophy] Biography of the French thinker goes to some length to discuss his "Meditations " "Discourse On the Method " and other aspects of his philosophy. René Descartes (15961650). René Descartes (1596-1650) is one of the most important Western philosophers of the past http://www.utm.edu/research/iep/d/descarte.htm

René Descartes (1596-1650) René Descartes (1596-1650) is one of the most important Western philosophers of the past few centuries. During his lifetime, Descartes was just as famous as an original physicist, physiologist and mathematician. But it is as a highly original philosopher that he is most frequently read today. He attempted to restart philosophy in a fresh direction. For example, his philosophy refused to accept the Aristotelian and Scholastic traditions that had dominated philosophical thought throughout the Medieval period; it attempted to fully integrate philosophy with the 'new' sciences; and Descartes changed the relationship between philosophy and theology. Such new directions for philosophy made Descartes into a revolutionary figure. The two most widely known of Descartes' philosophical ideas are those of a method of hyperbolic doubt, and the argument that, though he may doubt, he cannot doubt that he exists. The first of these comprises a key aspect of Descartes' philosophical method. As noted above, he refused to accept the authority of previous philosophers - but he also refused to accept the obviousness of his own senses. In the search for a foundation for philosophy, whatever could be doubted must be rejected. He resolves to trust only that which is clearly and distinctly seen to be beyond any doubt. In this manner, Descartes peels away the layers of beliefs and opinions that clouded his view of the truth. But, very little remains, only the simple fact of doubting itself, and the inescapable inference that something exists doubting, namely Descartes himself.

Descartes' Life Rene Descartés was born near Châtellerault, France in 1596. His family was well off, and therefore he could afford an education. However, Descartés was so sickly as a child, that he did not attend his lessons until he felt like getting out of bed. Descartés would later give credit for much of his philosophy to the fact that he had hours to ponder the mysteries of the world while he was in bed. Many people claimed that his death in 1650 was caused by the fact that he had to awake at 5:00 a.m. to tutor the Queen of Sweden. Descartes was also a soldier in two armies. During The Thirty Years' War, Descartes rediscovered his love for mathematics and philosophy, and therefore quit his job as a soldier to once again pursue his studies. Descartés' Philosophy HIS WORKS Rene Descartés wrote several volumes. Among his famous works are Meditations on Philosophy Principles of philosophy and Discourse on the Method of Rightly Conducting One's Reason, and Seeking Truth in the Sciences WORKS ON INTERNET Discourse on the Method of Rightly Conducting the Reason, and Seeking Truth in the Sciences

8. Rene Descartes And The Legacy Of Mind/Body Dualism distinction between mind and body in western thought can be traced to the Greeks,it is to the seminal work of René Descartes (15961650) see figure 1 http://serendip.brynmawr.edu/Mind/Descartes.html

MIND AND BODY: by Robert H. Wozniak The 17th Century: Reaction to the Dualism of Mind and Body The 18th Century: Mind, Matter, and Monism The 19th Century: Mind and Brain ... Trance and Trauma: Functional Nervous Disorders and the Subconscious Mind De homine was completed in Holland about 1633, on the eve of the condemnation of Galileo. When Descartes' friend and frequent correspondent, Marin Mersenne, wrote to him of Galileo's fate at the hands of the Inquisition, Descartes 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 [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.

Rene Descartes (1596-1650) Devoted his life’s work to the proposition that mathematical principles can be applied to all the science and this produce certainty of knowledge Attempted to resolve the mind-body problem ; are they distinct each other? 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 Rene Descartes was born in France in 1596, thirty-five years after Bacon. He died at fifty-three years of age in Sweden, court philosopher to Christina. Although he wrote in French rather than in Latin, he signed his writings Renatus Cartesius, which explains why his system of philosophy is called Cartesian. His best-known book, a short treatise entitled A Discourse on Method , is surely one of the most significant books in European intellectual history. His contributions to science, principally in mathematics, excelled those of Bacon. Back to the core text
