Hume and Descartes: Shared Ideas

Similarities between Hume and Descartes:

1. Hume, a learned individual, shares with Descartes the ideal and pursuit of autonomous reason—a reason liberated from all authority, serving as the sole guide in understanding reality, morality, and societal theories.
2. Both Descartes' rationalism and Hume's empiricism share a concern for the problem of knowledge: reason, nature, scope, and limits. They place the theme of knowledge at the center of their philosophies.
3. The emergence of both philosophies is closely connected with modern science. Hume applied Newton's physics method to the study of human nature. His greatest aspiration was, as he stated, to become the Newton of moral sciences.

Key Differences: Rationalism vs.

Decolonization and the Third World

Item 12: Decolonization and the Third World

Decolonization

After World War II, most European colonies achieved independence, primarily between 1945 and 1965. While there were common causes, the paths to independence varied, with some being peaceful and others violent.

Causes of Decolonization

• The Weakening of the Metropolis: After the war, European powers experienced a loss of legitimacy, and a growing segment of their intelligentsia and society opposed colonial rule. The United Nations Charter also promoted the "right of self-determination." Furthermore, the major powers (the USA and the USSR) opposed colonialism, particularly the USSR, which saw these new nations as potential partners.

• The Formation of Anti-Colonialism:

The Great Depression: A Global Crisis

The crisis of 1929 began with the fall of New York stock shares, impacting companies, banks, and triggering a stock market crash. This initiated a domino effect, creating a vicious cycle. The crisis originated in the U.S. economy and rapidly spread globally.

The crisis had significant implications for Europe, leading to factory closures and increased unemployment. This fueled social unrest and the rise of right-wing parties opposed to democracy. These parties often blamed German democracy and Jewish people for the economic misery.

Financial Sector Collapse and Global Recession

The financial sector experienced a breakdown in the payment chain, leading to an imbalance and a recession in payments. Investment ceased,... Continue reading "1929 Crisis: Global Impact and Roosevelt's New Deal" »

Article 18: Defining the Coexistence Plan

The Coexistence Plan is part of the School Educational Project (PEC), a document reflecting the center's identity and ideology. It outlines the school's purpose, organizational structure, and educational vision.

The Coexistence Plan details principles, objectives, and actions to enhance school life, focusing on:

• Coexistence among peers
• Educator-learner relationships
• Intercultural coexistence
• Coexistence in gender differences

Plan Elements

• Center characteristics
• Current state of coexistence
• Objectives and actions for achievement
• Operational procedures for coexistence
• Dissemination mechanisms
• Annual review and improvement proposals

This article aims to regulate school life and define... Continue reading "School Coexistence Plan: Principles and Implementation" »

The Unique Method of Reason

The ideal of universal science rests on a unique method valid for all sciences. This method, based on the structure of reason, applies to all individuals and fields of knowledge. To understand this method, we must analyze reason itself. Descartes identifies two fundamental operations of reason: intuition and deduction.

Intuition and the Simple Natures

Intuition is the immediate and effortless grasp of a clear and distinct idea. These intuited objects are "simple natures" or "clear and distinct ideas," the foundation of all knowledge. Key examples are extension and thought, considered innate ideas—potentially present in the mind and revealed through experience.

Deduction and the Composite Natures

Deduction involves... Continue reading "Descartes' Method and the Ideal of Universal Science" »

Legal Character of International Law

International law is a legal order; it is not a system of moral rules or courtesy. In effect, the rules of international law serve as rules of law in the international community. States, in their disputes, recall them, call for them, and pay compensation for their offense. All states have the conviction that they cannot escape their knowledge and compliance. International courts of law apply them using all the resources of legal technicalities, and national courts regard them as part of their domestic law and apply them when presented with the opportunity to do so. In other words, public international law is considered as a right.

Printers

A printer is a peripheral that allows you to produce a permanent copy of text or graphics from documents stored in electronic form. It achieves this by printing on physical media. The computer sends data to be printed using a special page description language. This data is delivered to the printer driver, interpreted using a page description language, and generates the final image to print.

Printer Driver

• Gets the information from the computer and stores it in an input buffer.
• Creates the image, taking data from the buffer and interpreting it according to a PDL.
• Dispatches data line by line to the video interface.

Video Interface

1. Transmits the image data to the printing mechanism, rasterized at a constant speed and a fixed resolution.
2. A two-

Descartes' Impact on Philosophy and the Existence of God

Due to the great importance of Descartes, we can relate his ideas to many authors in the history of philosophy, both past and present. We could relate him to St. Thomas Aquinas and focus primarily on his theory of knowledge and the demonstration of the existence of God.

For Thomas Aquinas and Aristotle, knowledge starts from experience; there is nothing in the understanding that has not gone through the senses. For Descartes, the senses are deceptive, and truth is the evidence that reveals reason. Thomas Aquinas' proof of the existence of God starts from the observation of facts. Descartes made his proof from the innate idea of infinity, which does not come from experience.
