French philosopher and scientist
Popularly known as the father of modern philosophy, Rene Descartes pioneered a new approach to human knowledge, based on a faith in the ability of reason to benefit humanity.
The son of a French nobleman, his gift for mathematics emerged during his Jesuit education. In 1619 he dreamed of reworking knowledge on a more rational basis, and after ten years of travel in Europe he chose a secluded life in the Netherlands to pursue his goal. In his "Meditations," written in French, not Latin, to allow a wider readership, Descartes began by doubting all knowledge, finding certainty only in the statement "I think, therefore I am." He went on to argue that everything should be categorized as either mind or matter, and that all that is matter functions mechanically. He also helped to found coordinate geometry and made major contributions to optics.
In 1649 Descartes went to Stockholm to instruct Queen Christina of Sweden in philosophy. Accustomed to meditating in bed until 11 a.m., he fell into bad health when the queen insisted on taking her lessons at 5 a.m. He died of pneumonia one year later.
