This is Part 2 in a series of writings on the great philosophers that I call PHUN with Philosophy. PHUN is an acronym for "Patiently Having Unbelievable NACHOS," and NACHOS is an acronym for "New Appreciation for Classic Higher-Order Studies". If you'd like to take a moment to go back and catch yourself up, you may do so here. But if you're like most members of the human race, you're lazy. So I'll summarize thusly: my boyfriend earned his undergraduate degree in philosophy and shares his knowledge with me. I translate what he says for the masses. You, dear reader, are the masses. Congratulations! You belong to something!
In Part 1 we covered Plato, Socrates, and Aristotle. Today we are time-traveling all the way forward past the Dark Ages and into an era both important historical scholars and I like to call "The Fruity Years." I'm devoting the entire entry to this one dude, as his contributions to modern thought were so far-reaching and influential that he truly deserves a dedicated entry in some random comedian's blog. Also, I was tired of talking about philosophy and wanted to go back to watching 30 Rock. To find out just who this important 17th century thinker is, read more after... THE JUMP!
