Résumé  

The name of our project is Cogito ergo sum – “I think, therefore I am“, the idea which was presented by writer, philosopher, physicist and mathematician named Rene Descartes and it formed the principles of enlightenment.  

In the first part of our project, we were writing about the conflict of two philosophic directions – empiricism and rationalism. We will explain the key-stones and differences of these two philosophies.  

The second part talks about enlightenment and characterization. We wrote short biographies of deputies of enlightenment. We will talk about their lives and contribution to the literature. We will find out more about orders of writing in that age, which were created by French writer Nicola Boilean. Furthemore we will mention the contents of books Candide or Optimism“, written by Rousseau and “Art of the poetry” by Nicola Boilean and also the reactions and impact on society at that time.  

And the third part is about the light, interferention, diffraction and Huygens´s principle. We will also talk about the refraction and rain-bow (theory made by Descartes). In conclusion we would like to tell you about the Isaac Newton’s and Descartes´s contribution to math- analytic geometry.
