Rene Descartes, Early Modernity, and the Wars of Religion - Philosophers in the Midst of History

[@bushi8928]

I admire your work. Thank you for making this content accessible.

Thank you, one of your best, in my opinion. Now, no offense to you, Greg, but a cool part of video, especially You Tube, is that you can listen at a faster speed. Today it's 1.5, half again as much, it helps me keep my focus. Thank you for following, somewhat in a way in Rene's footsteps, with your break out, 'Philosophy On The Road', and I personally thank you for that.

[@GregoryBSadler]

You're very welcome

Excellent lecture. I really like the method of Descartes.Thank you.( and Heidegger I bet would say.....yes, you need a method and metaphysics is the base....the method is phenomenology and the base is the metaphysics of being...)

[@GregoryBSadler]

Well, phenomenology for Heidegger, definitely. Not for Descartes, though!

[@MrMarktrumble]

No, just geometric reason. So seductive....

I think we are in a Post Post Modern era.

[@GregoryBSadler]

I suspect that once we get past the first "post", nobody is really quite sure what any subsequent ones mean

[@thenowchurch6419]

Gregory B. Sadler I feel you. My name for this chaos is Hyper-Surreal !

Descartes tree; www.google.com/search?q=descartes+tree+of+philosophy&client=opera&hs=Zfp&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjIxLLP1abOAhVLyoMKHcsjDAAQ_AUICCgB&biw=992&bih=497#tbm=isch&q=descartes+tree+of+knowledge&imgrc=ysCYlbN413s3VM%3A

[@GregoryBSadler]

Yep - I did that exact search before the talk. None of those are the image of Descartes' tree of knowledge

[@TheMadnessOfCrowds]

Gregory B. Sadler Interesting. The sketchy inner-web eh? It was just an image search; 'Descartes tree'.

[@GregoryBSadler]

GUY HILLIS Yes, its very surprising not to be able to find it
