Part 1 “Descartes in Discourse on Method of rightly directing one’s Reason and of seeking Truth in the Sciences” articulated by Thomas and Turner in the book, Clear and Simple reflects the various considerations about the sciences. Accordingly, the statement deciphered in part 1 of ‘Descartes in Discourse on Method’ can be duly supported. Notably, part 1 reflects that the opinion of people differs from one another, not because few individuals are more reasonable than other people but due to the differences in their thoughts and path. Observably, it can be stated that having good sense is not important, but it is significant for people to use it in a good direction. It is quintessential that an individual should not presume his/her mind to be better than another individual in general. Besides, sharpness, clarity in thoughts and memory which are capacious are argued to be vital components within an individual to define the perfect mind. It is also crucial to select a path that enables an individual to develop imaginations and maxims, which ultimately leads an individual to foster methods that facilitate him/her to acquire knowledge gradually (Thomas, and Turner, 32-44).
Thomas and Turner’s notion, that “clarity is the central virtue of classic prose” can also be supported, grounded on the fact that classic writers were engaged in presenting literary works that have already been perceived by them. Classic prose can be argued to be predominantly an efficient instrument, which neither invents nor misleads their view. Besides, classic prose evaded hesitations and uncertainties. Thus, it can be firmly justified that “clarity is the central virtue of classic prose” (Thomas, and Turner, 32-44). Read More
