I have to say that I prefer Descartes to Jean Paul Sartre any day of the week.For starters, the Monty Python team never dared to mock Rene Descartes ( "Hello Mrs Cut-out!" "Hello Mrs Rene Descartes" ?????) Nawwww...
Secondly, Jean-Paul never invented Cartesian geometry, or even Sartrian geometry, so where's that at, huh ?
Thirdly, Descartes had the coolest hair style, kind of cross between Isaac Newton and Dr Johnson. Sartre ? You'd think they'd never invented conditioner.
Call me old fashioned, but "Cogito ergo Sum" still RULES !! (as the late lamented Mbo might have said ... )
