kartezyanska

Kartezyanska is a term that refers to something related to René Descartes, the 17th-century French philosopher, mathematician, and scientist. His work profoundly influenced Western thought and is often considered the foundation of modern philosophy. The most well-known aspect associated with the term is Cartesianism, which encompasses Descartes' philosophical ideas. Key tenets of Cartesianism include radical doubt, the mind-body dualism, and the existence of God as a guarantor of clear and distinct perceptions. His famous dictum, "Cogito, ergo sum" ("I think, therefore I am"), is a cornerstone of his epistemology, asserting that the act of thinking is proof of one's own existence. In mathematics, the term Cartesian relates to the Cartesian coordinate system, which Descartes developed. This system uses perpendicular axes to define points in space, revolutionizing geometry by allowing algebraic methods to be applied to geometric problems. Therefore, anything described as "kartezyanska" likely pertains to these philosophical or mathematical contributions.
