Product Description
René Descartes:Philosopher von Heinz Duthel
René Descartes (latinisiert Renatus Cartesius; * 31. März 1596 in La Haye/Touraine, Frankreich; † 11. Februar 1650 in Stockholm, Schweden) war ein französischer Philosoph, Mathematiker und Naturwissenschaftler.

Descartes gilt als der Begründer des modernen frühneuzeitlichen Rationalismus, den Spinoza, Malebranche und Leibniz kritisch-konstruktiv weitergeführt haben. Sein rationalistisches Denken wird auch Cartesianismus genannt. Er ist außerdem für das berühmte Dictum „cogito ergo sum“ („ich denke, also bin ich“) bekannt, das die Grundlage seiner Metaphysik bildet, aber auch das Selbstbewusstsein als genuin philosophisches Thema eingeführt hat. Seine Auffassung bezüglich der Existenz von zwei nicht miteinander wechselwirkenden, voneinander verschiedenen 'Substanzen' - Geist und Materie - ist heute als Cartesianischer Dualismus bekannt und steht im Gegensatz zu den verschiedenen Varianten des Monismus sowie zur dualistischen Naturphilosophie Isaac Newtons, der die Wechselwirkung aktiver immaterieller „Kräfte der Natur“ mit der absolut passiven Materie lehrt (siehe dazu newtonsche Gesetze, Erstes Gesetz der Bewegung).

Descartes ist der Erfinder der sogenannten analytischen Geometrie, die die Algebra und die Geometrie verbindet. ... Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars Good Bio of DeCartes for Young Adults
This is a good overview of the life and work of Rene DeCartes for young people in middle or high school, and perhaps for adults who have limited knowledge of DeCartes or philosophy. It's nicely written and doesn't skip important facts about DeCartes' life (such as he wasn't married to the mother of his child) which you'd think would likely be glossed over in a book for kids published in 1969.

This author was very prolific and wrote some very accessible books about U.S. history, in particular WWII, which i also recommend to those not much "into" history.

For a more thorough and adult look at the life of Decartes, a much better book is "Cogito Ergo Sum" by Richard Watson.

4-0 out of 5 stars The life of Descartes told to young adults
The most famous line ever uttered in philosophy is, "I think, therefore I am", by Rene Descartes. He was a very original thinker in philosophy and mathematics; the development of the Cartesian coordinate system greatly simplified many areas of mathematics. Descartes also lived at a time when new ideas were upsetting the established order and those who pushed those new ideas could face censure and even death. The grip the Catholic Church had over Europe had been pried open, with northern Europe now under the sway of the alternate Protestant faith. Both were conservative in outlook, neither was very amenable to new ideas that could be considered a challenge to their systems of beliefs. This led to years of many different wars, although as Hoyt correctly points out, religion was a secondary concern in many of them. They were classic struggles over political power and the protagonist's primary use of religion was to further their personal ambitions.
Descartes grew up in a family of privilege and his talents were recognized at an early age. He spent many years as a gentleman soldier, although it is difficult to determine how personally involved he was in the fighting. This biography is written at the level of the young adult and accurately describes the role Descartes played in shaping the new, skeptical way of thinking about the world. Unfortunately, there are some places where the author uses a bit of poetic license in describing some conversations and events. I doubt very much if the sailors with murder in their hearts spoke exactly the way it is related and the conversations Descartes had with non-philosophers most likely did not follow the path put forward in the book. Embellishments such as the plump baroness who, "simpered and hid behind her fan" are exactly that. It is just as likely that the baroness was arrogant, considering Descartes to be slightly above the level of a servant.
Nevertheless, this book does give a reasonable, readable explanation of the life of Descartes and the significant role he played in the development of the modern, critical scientific method. ... Read more
