Philosophical Thoughts and Reflection for Everyone

Philosophy  is divided   according to different    periods  in time  depending on  the prevailing attitude in  the philosophical spirit and approach to the perennial fundamental  questions into
Ancient , Mediaeval and Modern  Philosophy.  Approximately around XVI th   century and  the Renaissance of the Greek and Roman styles of living and  thinking, the  discovery of different  continents and the beginning of  science and the scientific methods with the  concomitant  conquests of nature and  rapidly developing discoveries of almost all branches of different sciences there  developed    gradually what today we call Modern Philosophy. It is important to remember that the fundamental questions are still same but the approach to them and the different solutions are new. In Modern Philosophy under the impact mentioned above   plus the gradual  loss of confidence in the powers of the human mind, the central issue became the question of the nature , scope, limits and limitation of human knowledge. The prevailing  attitude of  doubt  in the old previous philosophical solutions and beliefs   gradually dominated the modern times. The  name of the philosopher who usually is mentioned as the father of Modern Philosophy is the French philosopher  Rene Descartes. It was Descartes   who openly and honestly  became aware of his  inner lack  of certainty and   pervasive doubt. Descartes wanted to develop a philosophy of reality with  indubitable foundation , absolutely certain on which to build the total vision of reality. This is why he is universally   known by his famous statement: “ Cogito Ergo Sum,”  I think therefore I am.
