Background
Hello, my name is Akihiro Ono, and today I’d like to talk about Rene Descartes and his <font style="background-color: yellow;">thought</font> experiment, “Cogito, ergo sum.”.
“Cogito, ergo sum.” is Latin language.
In English, it is expressed as “I think, therefore I am”. In Japanese, it is expressed as "Wareomou,yueniwareari".
Descartes, a French philosopher, tried to doubt the various things in this world.
For example, an apple there may be a hallucination<font style="background-color: yellow;">, </font>the one I am studying here may actually be a dream, and the back of a person who is facing me now may not exist.
Then Descartes noticed most things<font style="background-color: yellow;"> </font>including myself of this world can doubt.
So, Descartes thought that are there certainly existence which cannot be doubted?
And he summarized that, and in 1637 issued the book "Discourse on the Method".
Next, I will talk about the conclusion that Descartes has issued.
Research Question
What is truly real in the world?
Methods & Data
The process until Descartes arrives at the conclusion is as follows.
1. First he tried to doubt the various things in this world.
2. And he thought there was a certain thing that cannot be doubted.
3. He was able to doubt most things.
4. But he could not doubt that there was something suspicious.
5. Therefore, when he was thinking about that, he realized that he could not doubt that there was someone who was suspicious.
has had a big impact on future philosophers.
<font style="background-color: yellow;">Descartes' discovery</font> had a great influence on future philosophers.
And the word "Cogito, ergo sum." is still famous now.0 votedOctober 9, 20171- Copernican theory Until the 16th century people bilieved in Ptolemaic theory. That is because people watch the move of sun with the eyes of themselves and the other heavenly bodys move like the sun. However, Copernicus advocated Copernican theory. Copernicus noticed that there are some mistakes in the Ptolemaic theory advocated by Ptolemaios. The Ptolemaic theory can not explained the complex movements of the planets such as retrograde motion. So Copernicus thought that all planets, including the earth, are moving in a circular orbit around the sun and he advocated the planetary system model. This theory was able to physically describe the complex planetary movements in an orderly fashion. At the time that this theory was advocated, it was not accepted by people and it was theoretically inadequate, but this discovery became a turning point from Ptolemaic theory to Copernican theory and affected a lot of researcher. For example, Kepler proved that the planet has elliptical motion with the focus as the sun and Galileo Galiei discovered Jupiter in 1610 and raised the reliability of Copernicus's theory. In modern times, the Copernican theory is becoming common.October 9, 201720
