Date: August 10th, 2026 9:18 PM Author: Arrogant buck-toothed principal's office goal in life The LSAT does all the writing for you, you just pick the right answer. In medieval dissertations you had to do all the writing, and you had to use LSAT logic to make your points. Your logic had to be tight at each step. It didn't matter what you were writing about, you had to score a 180. There couldn't be any gaps in your reasoning. Even if you were just writing about a medicinal plant from the Dutch Indies, you had to go out of your way to prove your command of formal logic. They did this in the middle east for a long time too. Persians thought you had to show your command of LSAT logic before you could say anything else. Descartes didn't invent nuthin (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5891715&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310764#50059531) |

Because of its emphasis on rigorous dialectical method, scholasticism was eventually applied to many other fields of study.[6][7]

Date: August 10th, 2026 9:37 PM Author: Arrogant buck-toothed principal's office goal in life Philosopher Johann Beukes has suggested that from 1349 to 1464, the era between the deaths of William of Ockham and Nicholas of Cusa, there was a distinct period characterized by "robust and independent philosophers" who departed from high scholasticism on issues such as institutional criticism and materialism but retained scholasticism's method. These philosophers include Marsilius of Padua, Thomas Bradwardine, John Wycliffe, Catherine of Sienna, Jean Gerson, Gabriel Biel and ended with Nicholas of Cusa.[30]

Date: August 10th, 2026 10:01 PM Author: Arrogant buck-toothed principal's office goal in life Mastery of syllogistic reasoning was your ticket into the club. It was necessary, but no one said it was sufficient to do anything, just like no one thinks a perfect LSAT score qualifies you to practice law. Descartes whined that "but syllogistic reasoning isn't enough," but in order to make that argument Descartes also had to demonstrate his mastery of syllogistic reasoning. And here we are in the 21st century still taking the LSAT.
So what was Descartes really trying to say? What's he got to teach us right now? |
