about our minds? It seems that thoughts are not substances; they have no shapes or weights and cannot be touched. It is always controversial that whether our minds are immaterial souls or our minds are brains. According to Descartes Dualism and Cartesian Dualism‚ it comes the following theses: 1. A human being has two parts: an abstract mind and a physical body. 2. Mind and body are able to exist independently. 3. The mental processes exist due

Jerry Brow Grindeland 7/16/2012 Rethinking the Cartesian Circle in Meditation 5 Now that I have had a chance to review my original essay‚ I’ve determined that my arguments for Descartes’ logic being circular were unclear because I believed something different from what I believe now. Though this revision will still address the same concepts from the Meditations as my previous essay‚ I will argue instead that Descartes’ argument for the existence of God is not guilty of circular logic but merely

response to his writings‚ which are studied closely to this day. In particular‚ his Meditations on First Philosophy continues to be a standard text at most university philosophy departments. Descartes’ influence in mathematics is equally apparent; the Cartesian coordinate system — allowing reference to a point in space as a set of numbers‚ and allowing algebraic equations to be expressed as geometric shapes in a two-dimensional coordinate system (and conversely‚ shapes to be described as equations) — was

assumed like a machine. In the movie Sonia (the scientist) talks about system theory as the theory of living systems. She wants people to concentrate on system as a whole instead on concentrating on pieces. The example which she uses is how a Cartesian will look at tree. He will look at tree and conceptually analyze the pieces‚ but he would never understand the nature of the tree. A system thinker on other hand would look at tree and see the seasonal exchange between tree and earth‚ earth and sky

He also had many contributions to philosophy‚ including his most famous‚ Meditations on First Philosophy. Every time you graph an equation on a Cartesian coordinate system‚ you are using the work of Rene Descartes. Born in La Haye on March 31‚ 1596‚ Descartes was sent to the Jesuit college of La Fleche where he studied there and then entered the University of Poitiers‚ receiving his Baccalaureate
