Cartesianism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cartesianism is the name given to the philosophical doctrine (or school) of René Descartes.
Cartesianism may be compendiously stated as follows:
It teaches that philosophy must begin with universal doubt; whereas scholasticism had never questioned fundamentals.
No one who follows the Cartesian method will ever be satisfied until he has formally recovered all those beliefs which in form he has given up.[1]
