In which country was the philosopher, mathematician, and scientist René Descartes born?
Correct answer: France
That Cøunt, Ray Bumpkin
His first principle was "I think, therefore I am" (cogito, ergo sum / je pense, donc je suis). His original note about it was "we cannot doubt our existence while we doubt".
I am not a number.
He had to work on his principle before publishing as his first effort was "Rosea sum, ergo sum suilla"! (I'm pink therefore I'm ham!)
