Rationalism versus empiricism 43:50

3d ago43:50

43:50

Rationalism says mathematical knowledge comes from within, from pure thought; empiricism that it comes from without, from experience and observation. Rationalism led Kepler to look for divine design in the universe, and Descartes to reduce all mechanical phenomena to contact mechanics and all curves in geometry to instrumental generation. Empiricis…

Philosophical movements in the 17th century tried to mimic the geometrical method of the ancients.

Descartes thought Euclid’s axioms should be justi…
