About René Descartes

French philosopher, mathematician, and scientist René Descartes is often called the father of modern Western philosophy. His declaration 'Cogito, ergo sum' (I think, therefore I am) became the foundational element of Western rationalist thought.

René Descartes the Aries

Aries is the zodiac's opening act: the first spark, the one who moves before the room has finished deliberating. Ruled by Mars and born at the very start of spring, an Aries runs on initiative. Where others weigh, Aries begins, and that willingness to go first is a genuine form of courage rather than simple impatience.
