Comparison
I honestly cannot think of anyone in this time that even remotely represents Rene Descartes's leadership and his determination. Most people now a days are influenced by peers and other information out of their control while this philosopher would not have let his surrounding affect his research or job or any other thing that he did.
Job Descartes Would Hold
I think that if Rene Du Perron Descartes was alive now he would probably be something in the Scientific field. I think this because, Rene would provide a fresh perspective on many different contradicting subjects. He was clearly a leader because without anyone telling him what to do or how to do it he was able to set guide lines for philosophy for many many years to come. He probably wouldn't be affected by other discoveries or other scientists because he was a leader. This would allow his research to be unbiased.
