That".......our senses sometimes deceive us,i was willing to suppose that there existed nothing really such as they presented to us...,.,..i supposed that all the objects that had ever entered into my mind when awake had in them no more truth than the illusions of my dreams.But immediately upon this i observed that whilst i thus wished to think that all was false,it was absolutely necessary that i who thus thought should be somewhat;and as i observed this truth i think therefore i am,was so certain....".In the principles of knowledge"

Yet both quite independent,shares no contact with each other.To theorise this independence or freedom of the material process and the intangible made Descartes a diehard dualist that depicts their sharp division.To arrive at a conclusion that only man has a mind and not the animal,the latter been seen as complicated automaton does not too logical of a mature mordern philosophical,given that they posess soul atoms too.Just like St.Augustine and Thomas Aquinas,he also sees man as a dual creature with both a mind and extended body.Our mind is perfect machine that can operate independently of the body.

And like Plato,he was convinced of sharp contrast between spirit and matter,though the former could nt prove how the soul or mind influences the body.In solving a philosophical problem,Descartes in his Discourse On Method,raises question of the type of method a philosopher uses to reach a conclusion.That we cannot accept anything as veracious unless we clearly perceive it.According to him,requires breaking down into compound pieces of compound problem as soon as possible.Galileo too

We can say that the middle ages was begun at the fourth century and by the eleventh,twelfth and thirteenth often regarded as the period of High Gothic and that was the period in which the great Cathedrals of Europe was built.Suddenly by the 14thcentury,the interminable middle ages passed away,choked in the middle and taken over by Renaisance era(1300-1600).Christianity was a strong force during the period and profiteth immensely from its evolution.Around 3 the Christian Church was banned but was accepted in Rome by Emperor Constantine,in A.D.313.Infact the Holy Roman Emperor was baptised on his deathbed and from year 380,it was official religion in Roman Empire,though some sources disputed it.Rome was threatened in the 4th century by barbarians,that pressed from the North,and by A.D.330,Constantine the Great moved capital to constantinople
