Descartes is famous for being a total badass. He made many important contributions to mathematics. [The "Cartesian" plane that we learn about in middle school is named for him. "Analytical Geometry" is a term for the synthesis of geometric and algebraic methods.]
His philosophical influence is vast, but he's best known for his "I think therefore I am" (cogito ergo sum) argument. In short, this means that we can have radical doubts whether what we hear, see, and think are really there or really true, because we may be dreaming or hallucinating. But we cannot doubt that we ourselves actually do exist, because even when I am doubting, I cannot deny that there is a "me" that is doubting. In short, he argues that the fact that I experience my thinking proves my existence. I think therefore I am.
Rene Descartes invented the famous Cartesian coordinate system.He worked in the field of analytic geometry.
Rene desscartes was the father of mathematics.
== == Oddly enough, the place now called Descartes. Initially called La Haye en Touraine, the town was renamed La Haye-Descartes in 1802 in his honour, and then renamed again to Descartes in 1967.
Modern science also uses a clear method to discover answers to questions. (Apex)
The famous quote by Descartes is "I think, therfore I am."
Short answer: Descartes' doubt was like WWI - the doubt to end all doubt. Only by doubting everything could Descartes hope to find anything that was certain (even if the only certainty is that nothing else is certain!).
Some math mathematicians say that Descartes inspiration came from being in bed so late. But, this also came about because of his love for math and all of his studying.
Rene Descartes became famous in November 1628 during a trip to Paris where he had a confrontation with Chandoux. Chandoux believed that science was based on probabilities. Descartes attacked this view and created a whirlwind of questions.
Rene Descartes valued rationality and human logic. Descartes is famous for his sentence, "I think, therefore I am." It was the mind that Descartes valued more than anything else.
Descartes was a famous French philospher who lived during the Englightenment era. His name is pronounced as "deh-kart".
It comes from Descartes famous saying "I think, therefore I am." So he was explaining his belief through you.
