The Enlightenment Rene Descartes on to the philosophy of being: The mind is the source of individual being. One’s identity resides in one’s mind. What you think is more important than the outside physical world. Doubt everything. Basis of the scientific method. Truth can be derived at through empirical observation, the use of reason, and systematic doubt.

The Enlightenment Leibniz: Mind is isolated. No real communication can take place between one consciousness and another. “You don’t know the real me.” Possibility of the existence, beyond ourselves, of an entirely rational physical and moral universe.

The Enlightenment Isaac Newton’s order of natural law. The universe can be explained completely through the use of mathematics. The universe operates in a completely rational and predictable way. One need not appeal to religion or theology to explain any aspect of the physical phenomena of the universe. Universe like a massive clock built by a god and set into motion.

Deism Universe created by a rational being, and left it alone. One and only one God exists. God endowed the universe with natural moral and physical laws. Men endowed with rational nature. Although God created the universe, he does not interfere in its day to day running.
