Document Summary

Widely know for his contributions to a rationalist philosophy that places man at the centre of the universe. Interested in using the sciences and mathematics to establish rational certainty about the world and nature; emphasized the importance of techniques and instruments of objectivity designed to shore up perception in the production of knowledge about the world. World becomes known when we accurately represent in thought, not when we experience it through the senses and not when we imagine it in our minds eye. The philosophy of modernity was based on the idea of the liberal human subject as a self-knowing, unified, and autonomous entity with individual human rights and freedoms. Concept of the modern has been used over and over again by society. Present culture sees itself as the product of a transition from old to new, modeling itself on a past era that is regarded as embodying timeless and classical principles.
