LOGIC OF IDEAS: PORT-ROYAL AND LEGACY OF DESCARTES
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper explores the origin and the basic characteristics of Port-Royal logic. Port-Royal logic is here understand as the new idea of logic, essentially modern in its character and therefore opposed to Scholastic and Aristotelian tradition. On the other hand, the emergence of this new idea of logic is particularly problematic due to the development of investigations concerning the method adequate to the research of nature, i.e. adequate to sciences. The paper aims to show how the development of sciences influenced the transformation of logic, and how did logic anew found its place in the modern thinking, despite Descartes, but also inspired by his philosophy. The analyzes will show that this transformation of logic was only possible as its transformation into a logic of ideas.
