| Sumario: | The principal objective of this article is to provide the reader with a simple and brief introduction to René Descartes, his life, and his main thoughts and works. The figure of Descartes arrives on the European scene at a crucial time in its history: with the Scientific Revolution in full throttle, the impact he makes, not only for philosophy, but for the sciences, particularly math, remains to this day. We shall also, at the end, briefly analyse the relationship between the concept of space held by Descartes and the concept of space present in the contemporary (to him) Baroque Era. |
