RENE DESCARTES
(March 31, 1596 February 11, 1650)
Dubbed the 'Founder of Modern Philosophy,' Descartes was also a mathematician and scientist who founded analytic geometry and the Cartesian coordinate system. Descartes refused to accept the Aristotelian and Scholastic traditions that dominated Western thought and attempted to start philosophy in a new direction. His most famous statement is 'Cogito ergo sum' ('I think, therefore I am.')
