Richelieu. Rene Descartes. French thinkers

Richelieu. Historical figures, whose share of the era of order change falls, without a doubt, cannot hope for a fair assessment from contemporaries. Therefore, it is not surprising that the Cardinal Richelieu was during his lifetime and at first after death the object of the greatest praise or the most cruel censure. Protestant writers do not recognize in it either talents or even abilities, deliberately turn a blind eye to the services rendered by France. Richelieu Catholics seems, in turn, the most brilliant statesman, gifted with political wisdom, unprecedented in the annals of history. Rene Descartes. A mathematician, philosopher, physiologist, mechanic and physicist, whose ideas and discoveries played a large role in the development of several scientific industries at once. He developed algebraic symbols, which we use to this day, became the “father” of analytical geometry, laid the foundations for the formation of reflexology, created mechanism in physics, and this is not all its achievements. Interesting is the relationship of the reaction of Cardinal Richelieu in search, including spiritual, great thinker.
