René Descartes was a central figure in the scientific revolution of the 17th century. In his work "Discourse on Method," he mentioned the contrast between mathematics and the experimental sciences, as well as the degree to which each can achieve certainty. Drawing from his work in geometry, optics, astronomy, and physiology, Descartes developed the hypothetical method that characterizes modern science, which soon replaced traditional techniques derived from Aristotle. Many of Descartes' most radical ideas - such as the distinction between our perceptions and the realities that cause them - have had a significant influence on the development of modern philosophy.
