R. Descartes on Method - Dictionary of Arguments
Holz II 37 Rationalism/Holz: for rationalism it goes without saying to break down terms or facts into simpler components. >Rationalism. Method/Descartes: A method consists in the order and disposition of what the mind's gaze must focus on in order to discover a certain truth. Holz II 37 Intuition/Descartes: intuition is not the changing testimony of the senses, but such a simple and distinct understanding of the pure and attentive mind. So everyone can grasp with the mind that he/she exists, that he/she is aware that the triangle has three sides. Holz II 38 Method/Intuition/HolzVsDescartes: The process leads to an incalculable abundance of details, if no distinction is made between the essential and the insignificant. This is a problem in psycho-spiritual and social-historical investigations. >Relevance, >Essence. In the age of mathematics and natural sciences this remains inarticulated! Descartes' concept of intuition is imprecise because he assumes subjective belief. Def Intuition/Holz: intuitive knowledge is knowledge of the simple, which can no longer be broken down into parts._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
