Rene Descartes was a famous French mathematician, scientist and philosopher. He was arguably the first major philosopher in the modern era to make a serious effort to defeat skepticism. His views about knowledge and certainty, as well as his views about the relationship between mind and body have been very influential over the last three centuries.

"Since I am a thinking thing, and have in me an idea of God, whatever finally the cause may be to which

my nature is attributed, it must necessarily be admitted that the cause must equally be a thinking thing, and

 possess within it the idea of all the perfections that I attribute to the divine nature."- Rene Decartes
