Big Papa Descartes

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principles_of_Philosophy

The work provides a systematic statement of his metaphysics and natural philosophy, and represents the first truly comprehensive, mechanistic account of the universe.

A PhD is a Doctor of Philosophy for a reason. He is a seminal figure in the history and philosophy of science and greatly influenced the scientific method. He also laid the foundations for multiple fields.
