“Pragmatism Versus Descartes Views on Dualism” Rene Descartes was born in 1596 in La Haye, Touraine, a former providence in France. At the age of eight he was enrolled into a Jesuit school where he received an education in mathematics and Scholastic philosophy. Upon graduation from this school, Descartes went the University of Poitiers to study law. Although he was interested in law, he knew that his true passion was for math and philosophy. Descartes devoted much of his life to writing philosophy and for this he is called “the father of modern philosophy”. Much of Descartes philosophical writings reflect his thoughts on the human mind. Unlike the pragmatists’ views on the human mind, Descartes was a firm believer of dualism. In philosophy, dualism is the theory that the universe is understandable only as a whole composed of two distinct and mutually irreducible elements.
