Descartes Cody G Davidson



Descartes was one of the founding fathers of modernism because of his work in metaphysics. Descartes believed that thought was more then just the experience of the of senses. He believed that the only way to understand other people and how they viewed things were "through pure intellectual thought". He believed that some things like how people behave or what different people want can only be done by thinking about it. He thought that to truly create a society that fits the needs of all its people was to think on how it would effect people from different places. We gain our experience through our senses as go through experiences. We gain experience on other peoples thoughts by thinking and factoring in our own experiance.
