Descartes' Method

Main Article Content
The philosophical revolution of the 17th century is inseparable from new science and new ways of seeing things. Thus, when Galileo saw a body fall, he no longer asked himself “why (dióti)” but “how?” did this body fall. Rejecting Aristotle's Organon, our philosophers used the conceptual tools provided by the new mathematics, physics, and astronomy to understand the structure of the universe and the nature of knowledge. However, “liberation” was only achieved after many detours, and although the term “mathematics” served as a catalyst for the enemies of syllogism from the 16th century onwards, the Aristotelian structure of science was far from having disappeared.
