One of the most influential Renaissance thinkers was the French philosopher and mathematician Rene Descartes (1596-1650), whose 1st innovation was the concept of the human body as a machine. He described all the basic reflexes of the body, and he constructed elaborate models to demonstrate his principles. He believed that disease occurred when the machine broke down, and the physician’s job was to repair the machine.
