On March 31, 1596, French philosopher, mathematician, and writer René Descartes was born. The Cartesian coordinate system is named after him, allowing reference to a point in space as a set of numbers, and allowing algebraic equations to be expressed as geometric shapes in a two-dimensional coordinate system. He is credited as the father of analytical geometry, the bridge between algebra and geometry, crucial to the discovery of infinitesimal calculus and analysis. Descartes was also one of the key figures in the Scientific Revolution and has been described as an example of genius. He has been dubbed the 'Father of Modern Philosophy'. His Meditations on First Philosophy continues to be a standard text at most university philosophy departments.

Modern Philosophy Source ist ein Portal der Webseiten-Föderation Philosource, eines fortgeschrittenen digitalen Arbeitsbereichs für Philosophen, dessen Gehalt öffentlich zugänglich (open access) und durch einen wissenschaftlichen Bewertungsausschuß verbürgt ist. "Die Modern Philosophy-Plattform enthält eine Sammlung an philosophischen und wissenschaftlichen Primärquellen der Frühen Neuzeit in den jeweiligen Standard- oder Originalausgaben. Die Textsammlung enthält Werke wichtiger Autoren des 16. und 17. Jahrhunderts wie G. Bruno, R. Descartes, B. Spinoza, G. W. Leibniz, G. B. Vico, A. G. Baumgarten und I. Kant. Die Werke in lateinischer, italienischer, französischer und deutscher Sprache erscheinen im Textmodus in der Form der jeweiligen Druckausgaben inklusive der dort evt. enthaltenen Druckfehler, in einigen Fällen auch als Faksimile. Der Gehalt der Plattform und die Internetadressen sind gleichbleibend und können frei für Forschungszwecke benutzt werden."
