How Does the Approach of Descartes to Knowledge, Summed Up

question 49

Essay

How does the approach of Descartes to knowledge, summed up in "I think, therefore I am, " represent a departure from previous thinking, such as that of Aristotle? If Descartes rejects the data provided by the senses, what is he thinking about¾that is, where does the raw material of thought come from? How can he know that God exists? Some modern critics have seen in Descartes' method a tendency to imprison the thinker within his or her own mind, cut off from the real world and from other people.Do you agree?
