However, to mix philosophy and poetry ends up being toxic for the neuron.

The perception of the world is so different from one being to another. It doesn't mean one of them is more true than another one. What is reality anyway?!<BR/><BR/>But, i agree with the fact that Descartes is the source of our individualistic and egocentric way of thinking.<BR/><BR/>Now, what i like about Descartes is his methode. He "destroyed" all his prejucides about life, and tried to reach the root of our mind. <BR/><BR/>It doesn't mean i agree with all his conclusions. But, more simply, i like the fact that he tried to put his thinking out of the frame of time. And out of the evolution of his time period theories.Agnèshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10839849098785417528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886977568689637509.post-58059977410645586082009-01-26T00:48:00.000-08:002009-01-26T00:48:00.000-08:00Thanks for comment Angela.Cadence,Yes, it looks li...Thanks for comment Angela.<BR/><BR/>Cadence,<BR/>Yes, it looks like we would have no realist knowledge and/or imagination without our senses.Being and Quirkinesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07583685928768315045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886977568689637509.post-43997378593785974172009-01-26T00:00:00.000-08:002009-01-26T00:00:00.000-08:00I agree that the proper sensibles should take prec...I agree that the proper sensibles should take precedence over common sensibles.
