The 4 idols of mind: Idol of Marketplace is the economy that surrounds you, the Idol of the Cave is the location you live, the Idol of the Theatre is what constructs how you view things and the Idol of the Tribe is the people who surround you Francis Bacon
Rationalist, cogito ergo sum (“I think therefore, I am” meaning,he could not doubt that he himself existed, as he was the one doing the doubting in the first place. His ontological argument is that God's existence can be deduced from his nature. He suggested that the concept of God is that of a supremely perfect being, holding all perfections. He seems to have assumed that perfection exists. Thus, if the notion of God did not include existence, it would not be supremely perfect, as it would be lacking a perfection. Consequently, the notion of a supremely perfect God who does not exist, Descartes argues, is unintelligible. Therefore, according to his nature, God must exist Rene Descartes
Rationalist, monist which means he thought god was the only substance… Spinoza

paradigm shift: when one starts to think about something in a completely different way, science does not lead to the truth. Cycle of science: normal science accumulates anomalies over time which eventually leads to doubt and it revolutionizes and that becomes the new normal Thomas Kuhn
theory of falsification: theories must be proven to be false for it to be effective, observations are not reliable as its fallible and shaped by assumptions. Problem with this is you can’t disprove most sciences Karl Popper
