Book Description
Descartes fue enviado a un internado a la edad de ocho años. Como el director del colegio era un amigo de la familia, el joven René tenía una habitación para él solo y podía levantarse cuando quería, que era hacia el mediodía. A pesar de ello, se llevaba todos los premios. El levantarse de la cama tarde fue un hábito al que se adhirió toda su vida, incluso cuando, sorprendentemente, se alistó en el ejército. Así pensaba él. En "Descartes en 90 minutos", Paul Strathern presenta un repaso conciso y experto de la vida e ideas de Descartes dentro del panorama de la filosofía. El libro incluye una selección de escritos de Descartes, una breve lista de lecturas sugeridas para aquellos que deseen profundizar en su pensamiento y cronologías que sitúan al autor en su época y en una sinopsis más amplia de la filosofía.

Descartes in Ninety Minutes
Author: Paul Strathern
Publisher: Constable Limited
ISBN: 9780094759503
Category : Philosophers
Languages : en
Pages : 77
Book Description
Rene Descartes spent much of his life in solitude. Fortunately, these countless lonely hours helped Descartes produce the declaration that changed all philosophy: "I think, therefore I am." Convincing himself to doubt and disregard sensory knowledge, Descartes found he could prove his existence through his thoughts alone. This internal reality, he believed, was the true reality, while the external was hopelessly deceiving. In Descartes in 90 Minutes, Paul Strathern offers a concise, expert account of Descartes's life and ideas and explains their influence on man's struggle to understand his existence in the world. The book also includes selections from Descartes's work, a brief list of suggested readings for those who wish to delve deeper, and chronologies that place Descartes within his own age and in the broader scheme of philosophy.

Logic and the Art of Memory
Author: Paolo Rossi
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226728269
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 361
Book Description
The mnemonic arts and the idea of a universal language that would capture the essence of all things were originally associated with cryptology, mysticism, and other occult practices. And it is commonly held that these enigmatic efforts were abandoned with the development of formal logic in the seventeenth century and the beginning of the modern era. In his distinguished book, Logic and the Art of Memory Italian philosopher and historian Paolo Rossi argues that this view is belied by an examination of the history of the idea of a universal language. Based on comprehensive analyses of original texts, Rossi traces the development of this idea from late medieval thinkers such as Ramon Lull through Bruno, Bacon, Descartes, and finally Leibniz in the seventeenth century. The search for a symbolic mode of communication that would be intelligible to everyone was not a mere vestige of magical thinking and occult sciences, but a fundamental component of Renaissance and Enlightenment thought. Seen from this perspective, modern science and combinatorial logic represent not a break from the past but rather its full maturity. Available for the first time in English, this book (originally titled Clavis Universalis) remains one of the most important contributions to the history of ideas ever written. In addition to his eagerly anticipated translation, Steven Clucas offers a substantial introduction that places this book in the context of other recent works on this fascinating subject. A rich history and valuable sourcebook, Logic and the Art of Memory documents an essential chapter in the development of human reason.
