He is considered the founder of both modern philosophy and analytic geometry. During his life, established ideas were being challenged, so he tried to develop a way to reach the truth. He based his theory that the world is made up of mind and matter on a concept that came to him in a dream. 21Cogito ergo sum It is Latin for “I think; therefore, I exist”, a key point in Descartes philosophy. He claimed that the only thing anyone can be certain of is that s/he thinks and, therefore, s/he exists. The “I” is the mind which can exist without being extended so that it can in principle survive the death of the body.Home 22Pre-reading ActivitiesFirst reading Scan the text with the following questions in your mind.Try to answer them after first reading.
