Some Facts About Descartes!



  • René Descartes never got out of bed before 11 in the morning. (Because of his illness)
  • The Pope banned his works from the Catholic church.
  • The French government prohibited the teaching of Cartesianism in schools in the 1670s.
  • In 1641, Count Guglielmo Libri stole a letter about Descartes publication of Meditations on First Philosophy. (Hopefully, it was found in 2010.)
  • He never married but he had a relationship with a woman named Helena Jans van der Strom and had a daughter from Helena.  However, they created a fake story when moving to Amsterdam as Helena was his servant and his daughter, Francine was his niece.



  • P.S: René Descartes walks into a bar. Bartender asks if he wants anything. René says, "I think not"and then disappears.
