Lecture by Dr. Kirk Kanzelberger at the Lyceum Institute.
"'Our view of the world, which we get consciously or unconsciously from modern science, is radically incoherent,' argues Walker Percy in 'The Fateful Rift: The San Andreas Fault in the Modern Mind.' The dualism of Descartes — the rift between man as psyche and man as organism — continues to pervade our inherited view of the world and scientific practice. And yet it was a century ago and more that Charles Sanders Peirce indicated the road to a more coherent anthropology based upon the crucial datum of the triadic sign-relation that unites 'mental' and 'physical' in one single natural event."
See Descartes, Rules for the Direction of the Mind, Method of Rightly Conducting the Reason, Meditations on First Philosophy, Objections Against the Meditations, and Replies, and The Geometry, in Great Books of the Western World (first edition, 52 Vol., 1952) volume 31, (second edition, 60 Vol., 1990) volume 28.
