Rene Descartes, celebrated for "cogito ergo sum," pioneered Cartesian dualism, which delves into the mind-body problem. His philosophical methodology, notably Cartesian skepticism and methodic doubt, critiqued the foundations of knowledge. Descartes' rationalism is exemplified by the Cartesian circle, and his arguments for the existence of God through the ontological argument. He also introduced the Cartesian coordinate system and analyzed perception through the Wax argument. Descartes' unique take on biological functioning via the pineal gland theory further showcases his diverse intellectual contributions.
