As we many people spend their time trying to explain our past and history and many many other things, Descartes spend his time asking himself about our existance, if we are or not real. After having a doubt, and another doubt of our existance, he ended with a conclusion "I think, therefore I am"... this explains a lot,(just by making myself this question I can know that I exist, and it makes me different from other thing). He said that you can not believe in our senses, and for explain this, he gave the example of the dream, so how can you really know that you are not in a dream, because if you use your senses as a guide such as see or feel you could be in a dream, so your senses won´t be a guide that led you to the truth. So he said that you can only explain things mathematically, because everything in the world is macanically perfect, and through math everything is undersatandable.
He inventes a way to explain everything, and this is the analititc geometry, this way you can conceibe something in universe. He always used the logical explanations and he don´t trusted anything, just thinking that the analysis will led him to knowledge... this makes him a rationalist.
