Museum of Descartes and its collection

Source

René Descartes, a renowned French philosopher, mathematician, and writer, was born in the town of La Haye, which is now known as Descartes, located near Tours in France. His significant contributions to philosophy and mathematics have left a lasting impact on these fields, making his birthplace a site of historical and intellectual interest.

Descartes' Philosophy of Dualism

René Descartes is famously known for his quote "I think, therefore I am", which forms the basis of his philosophical idea of dualism. This concept suggests that humans consist of two separate substances: the material and the thinking. This philosophical idea is a significant part of Descartes' legacy and is likely to be a focal point of interest at the museum.
