Descartes’ Socratic Method

Adam Drozdek

Cited by 0Open access

Abstract

Descartes once emphatically stated: "I have a habit to study no other thing more than the observed simplest truths that are innate in our minds, which when they are pointed to anyone, he does not think he was ever ignorant of them" (7.464). 1 It can be disputed whether it really was always his goal to find truths in innate ideas, but certainly his goal was to find scientific and philosophical truth and he found it eventually in himself, in innate ideas, but not of himself, since these ideas were not truly his, because they were given to him.
