The meeting of Fracastoro with Descartes: reflection on the temporality of the method
2010
The objective of this study is to demonstrate the importance of the scientific method since the emergence of modern science and its model of rationality. It is a Philosophical reflection by means of an imaginary approximation of letters between Fracastoro and Descartes, based on bibliographies found in LILACS, SciELO, and the Google search engine. The authors used descriptions by means of letters from a fictional correspondence between Girolamo Fracastoro and Rene Descartes. The former, from his works Syphilis Sive Morbus Gallicus and De contagione et contagiosis et curatione and the latter with the Speech of the Method, used as a model of modern science and Rules for the Direction of the Spirit. The approach supposed by the authors between Fracastoro and Descartes reveals to us that the method proposed by Descartes, if it had been used by the Italian scientist, would have opened new possibilities of visibility and projection of his works. DESCRIPTORS: History. Philosophy. Health. LA REUNION DE FRACASTORO CON DESCARTES: REFLEXIONES SOBRE LA TEMPORALIDAD DEL METODO RESUMEN: El objetivo es demostrar la importancia del metodo en la practica cientifica a partir de la emergencia de la ciencia moderna y su modelo de racionalidad. Se trata de una reflexion filosofica, una aproximacion imaginaria mediante cartas entre Fracastoro y Descartes, siendo fundamentadas a traves de las bibliografias encontradas en LILACS, SciELO y el buscador Google. Los autores utilizaron la descripcion por medio de cartas de un contacto ficticio entre Girolamo Fracastoro y Rene Descartes. El primero, a partir de sus obras Syphilis Sive Morbus Gallicus y De contagione et contagiosis morbis et curatione, y el segundo con el Discurso del Metodo, obra utilizada como modelo de la ciencia moderna, y Reglas para la Direccion del Espiritu. La aproximacion imaginada por los autores, entre Fracastoro y Descartes nos revela que el metodo propuesto por Descartes, si hubiese sido utilizado por el cientifico italiano, abriria nuevas posibilidades de visibilidad y proyeccion de la obra de su autoria. DESCRIPTORES: Historia. Filosofia. Salud.
