Excerpt from Notes on Prof. Ormond's Philosophy From Descartes to Kant Lectures

The Fall of Mediaevalism. - Its fault was lack of freedom under the dominance of the ecclesiastical and political systems.

Three movements - (1) Theologico-Religious, following the Rennaisance, was an unsuccessful attempt to reconstruct the modern consciousness on classic models. If modern thought would go back to Christianity, it would find inspiration for a greater life than the world has seen. (2) Scientific. The scientific spirit had not sufficient play under mediaevalism. A revolt began with the Arabs, but Francis Bacon was the great prototype and embodiment of the scientific movement. (3) Philosophical. Des Cartes initiated this movement. Motives (a) negatively, rebellion against the traditional ideas in philosophy and against the restrictions of the old regime. Men had tried to adapt their thought to the thinking of Aristotle, (b) Positive, independent inquiry. It is only as an age asserts its right to settle its own problems that it can understand old masters. Traditionalism had become so great an evil that they swept it away, and individualism became too marked. It was one-sided. The threads that bind the present with the past are necessary to perfect progress. The historic spirit has grown gradually until, in the nineteenth century, it dominates.

Des Cartes (1596-1654) was born at La Haye, France. At the College of La Fleche, under the Jesuits, until sixteen. He studied little except pure mathematics and loved that for its clear ideas and well-defined method. He early began applying these universally. Two years in Paris society. Two years of bard study. He thought philosophy should he reformed, hut before making the attempt spent several years in war and travel. First in the army of Maurice of Nassau, and afterwards under the Elector of Bavaria. It was while on garrison duty in the winter of 1619-20 that he made his great discovery, viz., the application of the mathematical method to physics and to philosophy. He spent three years in Paris in the society of men of the world rather than of the learned. Then retired to a quiet place in Holland, used books little, experimented and thought patiently, entered into correspondence with eminent men in the same pursuits in Europe, and soon acquired a high reputation as an original and profound thinker.
