Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Descartes is known for his search for an absolute truth or certainty upon which all knowledge can be based, which he famously expressed as "Cogito ergo sum" or "I think, therefore I am." Galen was a prominent ancient Greek physician and philosopher, Paracelsus was a Renaissance physician and alchemist, Boyle was a 17th-century chemist and physicist, and Bruno was a philosopher and astronomer who rejected many traditional beliefs of his time, but none of them is primarily known for a search for an absolute truth.
