A Classic Quote
"I suppose therefore that all things I see are illusions; I believe that nothing has ever existed of everything my lying memory tells me. I think I have no senses. I believe that body, shape, extension, motion, location are functions. What is there then that can be taken as true? Perhaps only this one thing, that nothing at all is certain."
René Descartes |Philosopher, Mathematician
03/31/1596 - 02/11/1650
René Descartes, born on March 31, 1596, in La Haye en Touraine, France, was a renowned philosopher and mathematician. He is widely regarded as one of the founders of modern philosophy and his works had a profound impact on the development of scientific thinking. Descartes is best known for his famous statement 'Cogito, ergo sum' (I think, therefore I am), which encapsulates his emphasis on rationalism and the importance of self-reflection. His contributions to philosophy, mathematics, and the scientific method continue to shape our understanding of the world. (Wikipedia)
