1,518 words (approx. 6.1 pages) | 6 sources | MLA | 2004 United States


Paper Summary:

This paper explains how the philosophy of Renee Descartes and, in particular, Cartesian dualism were accepted into the Christian theological viewpoint through the process of interpretation and integration.

From the Paper:

"The problem addressed by philosophy is that man does not know things directly but gains understanding through the impressions (phenomena) of those things. Rationalism is concerned with the impressions made on the intellect, empiricism with those on the senses. Neither is truly able to 'know' the world directly. Rationalists believe that the world can be experienced intuitively through reason, using deductive reasoning to investigate the truth. Deductive arguments move from a generalization a particular claim. It's all very logical. Deductive arguments provide evidence through the auspices of reason."
