Mind, Matter and Descartes"Cogito Ergo Sum", "I think, therefore I am", the incarnation of René Descartes' logic. Born in 1596 in The Hague, France, Descartes studied at a Jesuit college, where his knowledge of the rector and the fragility of his childhood allowed him to lead a quiet life. This opulence and lack of daily responsibility gave him the freedom to express his discontent both with artificial scholasticism, the philosophy of the Church in the Middle Ages, as well as with extreme skepticism, the doctrine according to which absolute knowledge is impossible. Thanks to the most innovative logic since the death of Aristotle, as well as the application of science, he pursued a lifelong quest for scientific truth. Philosophy is believed to have begun in the 6th century in ancient Greece. In fact, the word “philosophy” is the Greek term meaning “love of wisdom” (Pojman). After notable minds of the ancient world such as Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, by modernist standards, original thinking ceased for several centuries. Throughout the following period, later known as the Middle Ages, the world was dominated by the dogmas of the Catholic Church. Scholasticism, combined with severe sanctions for heresy, prevented any rationalization outside of religion. Descartes was the first to bring philosophy to its “Renaissance” (Strathern 7-9). He questioned the reality of everything, including that of God. Although he was a devout Catholic and later proved the existence of God mathematically, he founded and popularized the concept of questioning what is taught. Descartes' philosophy was an attempt to create a true foundation on which future scientific developments would be established. His attachment to the methodical nature and invariability of mathematics led him to apply these concepts to all other ideas. He hypothesized that “propositions which one could understand completely would be self-evident, since one's knowledge of them would not depend on knowledge of other propositions; they were therefore appropriate to constitute fundamental hypotheses, to be the starting points from which other propositions could be deduced” (Walting). He realized that he knew nothing for certain except the fact that he thought, which proved that he existed; “Cogito Ergo Somme.” "Descartes argues that all ideas as clear and distinct as the Cogito must be true, for if they were not, then the Cogito too, as a member of the class of clear and distinct ideas, could be doubted "(Walting). Descartes theorized that each person has an innate idea of ​​a perfect being..
