Question

Which two statements from Discourse on Method best exemplify Descartes' break with Aristotelian thought?

Answer 1

1."I set a high price on eloquence, and I was in love with poetry; I rejoiced in mathematics, but knew nothing of its true use."

4."The time remaining to me I have resolved to employ in trying to acquire some knowledge of nature, such that we may be able to draw from it more certain rules for medicine than those which we possess."

Answer 2

I would actually go with the last option based on my search, and also the first option. I feel like they would both best exemplify Descartes' break with Aristotelian thought.
