Question
making an inference from the life of descartes
which activity would descartes most likely have enjoyed in his free time?
studying the battles of the thirty years war
acting in a play about the imprisonment of galileo
discussing the use of geometry to build a house
reading in bed and sleeping until noon
Descartes was known for his love of solitude and intellectual pursuits. He often spent time in bed, thinking and reading. He was also a mathematician and philosopher, so discussing geometry would be in line with his interests. Studying battles (more of a history/social science aspect not his main focus), acting (not his typical activity), and while he did like bed - related activities, the more intellectual "discussing geometry" is more in line with his known scholarly nature compared to just "reading in bed and sleeping".
