The Philosophy of Descartes

La Trobe University

René Descartes, the ‘father of modern philosophy’ wrote his essay Meditations (published 1641) not long after Shakespeare published the Sonnets (1609). The change from Shakespeare to Descartes represents the shift from the Renaissance to the era of Modernism. The humanism of the Renaissance gives way to rationalism and a faith in the emerging sciences.

    The course is organised in reverse. You should start with the last track, and work backwards to 1. Good intro to Descartes otherwise.
