René Descartes, 1596 - 1650, was a French thinker.
R. Descartes is known in all places in the world where one deals with philosophy. Moreover anyone who draws a diagram with two axes of coordinates uses R. Descartes' name when speaking of cartesian coordinates.
R. Descartes was born in Indre-et-Loire (department in center of France) and studied in the university of Poitiers (my beloved birthplace); but he spent almost all the remainder of his life in the Dutch Republic (wikipedia).
