LELIS, Diego Andrade de Jesus; MESQUIDA, Peri e OLIVEIRA JUNIOR, Abdias Rodrigues de. RENÉ DESCARTES: his contribution to modern science and the impact of his ideas on education. Revista Teias [online]. 2022, vol.23, n.69, pp.341-353. Epub 28-Fev-2023. ISSN 1982-0305. https://doi.org/10.12957/teias.2022.61803.
The human history is mixed with the search for truth. In the most diverse times and by innumerable ways it was defended to possess it. This search also went to Descartes (1596-1650), through the constitution of a method. Given this, the objective is, for this article, through a exegetical-hermeneutics (Gadamer, 1999; Heidegger, 2007; Habermas, 2013) with a qualitative approach (Bogdan & Biklen, 1994), to discuss Descartes' contribution in the foundation of the modern scientific system and the impact of his ideas on education. The main results show that the creation of a reliable and verifiable method was a decisive factor for the development of the modern scientific system. Descartes did not dedicate himself to weaving direct reflections on the school system, however, they claim their method as the basis for the fragmentation of knowledge and teaching, but it was found that in their theory and method there is no basis for the separation of the parts without there being also the joining of these parts to the whole, concluding, therefore, that the fragmentation of science and teaching is not based on the Cartesian method.
