René Descartes (1596-1650) towers above his contemporaries. The French thinker
who declared "Cogito, ergo sum" ("I think, therefore I am") has been called the
founder of modern philosophy and mathematics. But Descartes also had a
mysterious, mystical side. Many scholars believe that he was probably a member
of the occult brotherhood of the Rosicrucians. According to Amir D. Aczel, the
author of Fermat's Last Theorem, Descartes inscribed his secrets in a coded
notebook. After his death, the notebook apparently vanished, but the great
mathematician Gottfried Leibniz discovered the manuscript in the possession of
Descartes's loyal friend Claude Clerselier. In Descartes's Secret Notebook,
Aczel tells the story of its recovery and its loss.
