Through his contributions to geometry, optics, astronomy, and physiology, Descartes introduces the hypothetical method, a cornerstone of modern science that replaced Aristotelian techniques. His revolutionary ideas, particularly the gap between perception and reality, have profoundly shaped modern philosophy.
