As Descartes proposed a philosophy that was wholly based on truth, he converted his doubt into a method for conducting reason and seeking this truth in the sciences, and the Cartesian thought arises where everything is doubted, even of its very existence, reaching the conclusion that " If I doubt, I think, if I think, I exist ":" Cogito, ergo sum "," I think, therefore I am ", starting point of the Methodical Doubt, from which all his thought is constructed. "I think, therefore I am" is an iconic phrase spoken by the French philosopher René Descartes, who marked the vision of the Illuminist movement, placing human reason as the only form of existence.
We will look at some Cartesian concepts to follow and what gave the main basis in Newton's physics.
The Cartesian method is based on pure deduction, it consists of beginning with simple and self-evident truths or axioms, and then reasoning with it, until it reaches particular conclusions.
Cartesian dualism
Cartesian Dualism or Psychophysical Dualism (or even Body-Consciousness Dichotomy) is a concept according to which the human being is a double being, composed of a thinking substance and an extensive substance. This is because the body is a physical and physiological reality and as such possesses mass, extension in space and movement, as well as activities of food, digestion and etc., always subject to the deterministic laws of nature, whereas mental phenomena do not have extension or location in space.
The mind performs activities of remembering, reasoning, knowing and willing, without submitting to physical laws, but they are the place of freedom.
Cartesian Person
The term "Cartesian person" is used to characterize an inflexible person, who thinks and acts always in the same way. The Cartesian mind is egocentric and when it thinks about the other its evaluation is always about the advantage that it can obtain of the situation.
This mechanistic view of the world separating the body from the mind, the Cartesian division, was supported by Isaac Newton, and basing his work on heliocentrism emerges the
Theory of Universal Gravitation. Only in 1835 did Pope Gregory 16 recognize the model of heliocentrism, after so many dead ... just an observation!
The Sun is not the center of the universe, science knows, today, the star is only a dwarf star and integrates the Milky Way, one among thousands of galaxies.
The current standard model of cosmology is the so-called "Hot Big Bang", developed in 1927, but whose acceptance of the scientific community occurs in 1965. By this model, the universe is in continuous expansion.
From the second half of the seventeenth century to the end of the nineteenth century the Newtonian mechanistic model of the universe dominated all scientific thinking.
According to the physicist, system theorist and writer Fritjof Capra, this model was paralleled by the image of a monarchical God who, from above, ruled the world, imposing divine law upon him. The fundamental laws of nature, the object of scientific inquiry, were then regarded as the law of God, that is, invariable and eternal, to which the world was subjected. As a result of this to this day, most are aware of themselves as isolated egos within their bodies. The mind was separated from the body receiving the useless task of controlling it, thus causing an apparent conflict between conscious will and involuntary instincts.
This internal fragmentation mirrors our view of the "outer" world, which is viewed as being made up of an immense quantity of isolated objects and facts.
This view has separated man and has generated all the perceivable problems in mankind. The thirst for power and the insane competition, not to mention the frustration that each one lives within his own world.
I think I'm going to stop here today so I do not get tired of you, I want you to have enough time to think and if possible research here on the internet on the subject, you will see that it is complicated because when we start to read one page, another comes and another. ... Wow, a great trip, but to your surprise, it's just beginning.
I'll end up remembering a part of my post on July 23, 2018, because I know the main subject is about to start and what else is motivating me, I can say it has everything to do with it:
And the most interesting thing is that doing things my way with my little eyes closed, as always, I open the bible and read:
John 4-23
But the time is coming - and it is now - that the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the worshipers whom the Father seeks "
Good evening!
