The philosophy of knowing
The philosophy is not limited to formulate questions and by doubts and to look critically at the world, it will find answers that make up the philosophical knowledge. So philosophers who formulate the questions also give answers that leave in the form of author, so we talk on the philosophy of J. Locke and Descartes. But the answer given by the philosopher does not prevent other thinkers reflect on the same question. And these answers reflect the formation of philosophers and historical and cultural conditioning. Because address the issue of knowledge J. Locke says that its origin comes from the experiences and expertise (his interests were more to the sciences then he value the observation and experimentation), and Descartes says that knowledge comes from the existence of innate ideas the reason (went to study medicine, mathematics and walked back to the abstract beings).
So these two philosophers had different backgrounds and have been conditioned historical and culturally because philosophers are children of their time. In the Middle Ages life was considered a gift from God and was dominated by religious concerns (theocentrism) at the time philosophers were priests such as S Augustine who will propose a pilgrimage to God and then find salvation, a doctrine based on faith and in the Bible. In the Renaissance era is marked by Anthropocentrism, will be a turning point in the conception of the world, it is the time of discovery, and the philosophy frees itself of faith turns to the reason of man and the man is who must find solutions to their problems, as aparecoimento Francis Bakam, you're going to propose an ideal society, a society based on scientific and technological progress .
