The Philosophy of Descartes
https://www.latrobe.edu.au/marketing/assets/podcasts/rssfeeds/descartes.xml
René Descartes, the ‘father of modern philosophy’ wrote his essay Meditations (published 1641) not long after Shakespeare published the Sonnets (1609). The change from Shakespeare to Descartes represents the shift from the Renaissance to the era of Modernism. The humanism of the Renaissance gives way to rationalism and a faith in the emerging sciences.
