Resumo
This work aimed to investigate the intellectual route of modern philosopher René Descartes to support a new theory of knowledge in the face of the emergence of modernity. Descartes sought to formulate philosophical basis to secure the understanding and practice of experimental science of the XVII century. To accomplish the intent of this research was to carry out an analysis of Cartesian thinking in terms of its historical context. The philosopher then sets out the need to find the structure of the thinking subject, (res cogitans), and later in proposing a truthful God, the rational capacity to ensure truth in scientific method. Our conclusion is that the Cartesian philosophy has, through rational and analytical function to make clear what is confusing. This research is carried from the assumptions contained in the Meditations metaphysical propositions as secure bases and philosophical foundations sufficient for the knowledge and practice of modern science.
