Continental Rationalism [Internet Encyclopedia Of Philosophy]
Internet Encyclopedia of philosophy provides an overview of this 17th Century movement and associated philosophers such as Spinoza and Leibniz. Contemporary historians of philosophy challenge this traditional distinction between rationalism and empiricism.

Extractions: Continental Rationalism The term "Continental Rationalism" traditionally refers to a 17th century philosophical movement begun by Descartes . After Descartes, several dozen scientists and philosophers continued his teachings throughout continental Europe and, accordingly were titled "Cartesians." Some Cartesians strayed little from Descartes' scientific and metaphysical theories. Others incorporated his theories into Calvinistic theology. But a handful of philosopher s influenced by Descartes were more original in developing their own views and these people are included under the more general title "rationalists." the principle rationalists include Benedict Spinoza , Nicholas Malebranche , Gottfried Willhelm Leibniz, and Christian Wolff. Continental Rationalism is usually understood in relation to its rival 17th century movement, British Empiricism , founded by John Locke. The radical division between these two schools was first articulated by Thomas Reid in his Inquiry Concerning the Human Mind Contemporary historians of philosophy challenge this traditional distinction between rationalism and empiricism. Louis Loeb, for example, argues for an alternative classification of 17th and 18th century philosophers which is more representative of t he actual content of their metaphysical and epistemological positions. In spite of Loeb's suggestions, the traditional division between rationalism and empiricism offered by Reid has at least some foundation, and is convenient for understanding the evolution of philosophical theories during the modern period of philosophy.

Extractions: The term "moral rationalism," in its broadest sense, applies to moral theories that emphasize the use of reason or a rational procedure in moral decision making. Most moral philosophers in the history of philosophy noted that human reason plays at least some part, often a dominant one. Plato argued that moral decision making involves a rational intuition of moral principles. Part of our rational faculty involves an intuitive sense by which we perceive abstract concepts that exist in a spirit-like realm. With this rational intuition we perceive moral principles, such as the notion of justice, the same way we rationally perceive basic mathematical truths, such as 2+2=4. Aristotle held that we use reason to determine the best way to achieve the highest moral good. All people strive for happiness, and moral reasoning involves determining the best means for achieving that end. For example, if happiness is attained by being courageous, then my reason will tell me what actions I need to perform to be courageous, without being either too cowardly or too rash. Aristotle referred to this as practical reasoning since reason guides our actions (or practice). Medieval philosophers such as Aquinas suggested that we an innate rational faculty called synderesis that informs us of our highest moral obligation. Aquinas also argued that our reason plays a role in deducing secondary moral principles from primary ones, analogous to the way that theorems in geometry are deduced from more fundamental principles. For example, given the primary principle that "We ought to treat people benevolently," we can deduce the secondary principle that "We should help feed starving people," since feeding the starving is clearly an act of benevolence. If we then observe that Jones is starving, we can rationally deduce further that it is our obligation to help feed Jones.

Rationalism is concerned with the impressions made on the intellect, Empiricism with those on the senses. Hence the question arises: Can the knowing subject be certain of the existence of known objects? If so, to what extent can he be certain? Both Rationalism and Empiricism needed a new method; the former adopted mathematical deduction, the latter scientific induction.

Extractions: Boswell describes, in his biography of the English lexicographer, where Dr. Johnson , after a forty year absence meets an old class-fellow, Oliver Edwards. They had met by chance in the street. Edwards was at the time of the meeting living on a little farm of about sixty acres, seemingly, quite happy, from season to season, to see his grass, his corn, and his trees growing. He addressed his illustrious friend: "You are a philosopher, Dr. Johnson. I have tried too, in my time, to be a philosopher; but, I don't know how, cheerfulness was always breaking in." Then there is the story of David Hume , who, when he began to be known in the world as a philosopher, was admonished by a Mr. White, a decent rich merchant of London: "I am surprised, Mr. Hume, that a man of your good sense should think of being a philosopher. Why, I did take it into my head to be a philosopher for some time, but tired of it most confoundedly, and very soon gave it up." "Pray, sir", said Mr. Hume, "in what branch of philosophy did you employ your researches? What books did you read? "Books?" said Mr. White; "nay sir, I read no books, but I used to sit whole forenoons a-yawning and poking the fire."

Extractions: "It thus leads, almost by necessity, to the realisation that our attempts to see and to find the truth are not final, but open to improvement, our knowledge, our doctrine, is conjectural; that it consists of guesses, of hypothesis, rather than that of final and certain truths: and that criticism and critical discussion are our only means of getting nearer to the truth. It thus leads to the tradition of bold conjectures and of free criticism, the tradition that created the rational or scientific attitude, and with it our Western Civilisation, the only civilisation which is based upon science....................
