Five Years of Descartes Prize Winners by PDF Summary

Book Description: Both Descartes prizes honour the name of one of Europe's greatest scientific thinkers, René Descartes. A pioneer of the age of reason, a philosopher, mathematician and scientist, Descartes' legacy includes such works as Meditations on first philosophy which is best remembered for containing the statement cogito, ergo sum-'I think, therefore I am'. « Discours de la méthode pour bien conduire sa raison et chercher la vérité dans les sciences » is among his other works. Born in France, Descartes travelled across Europe. Between 1620 and 1628, he spent time in Hungary, Germany, Italy and France. Descartes corresponded widely and was one of the first to put forward the idea of a universal language through which people of different nationalities could exchange ideas. The prize that bears his name acknowledges that science is rarely the preserve of a single brilliant mind in a single country. The sharking of ideas and equipment yields a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. Descartes' willingness to share his ideas and explore fruitful relationships with his peers around Europe is a poignant metaphor for what the European Commission is trying to achieve with the Descartes prize. The competition aims to identify and showcase the best European research, as well as the best way to communicate science to the public. It also raises awareness of the benefits of transnational research, and of working together to achieve ambitious scientific goals at European level.
