In the current plate appears the well-known theorem of the French philosopher and mathematician René Descartes (1650-1596). Descartes who was one of the great philosophers and paved the way for the philosophy of the natural sciences. As a mathematician, Descartes is known as the inventor of the geometric axis system.
The sentence that appears on the plaque (I think, therefore I am) first appeared in 1637 in his book "Discourse on the Method" and later in the book "Principles of Philosophy" (1644), and its meaning is that since a person’s senses can mislead him and give him a false perception of reality, only the person’s thinking is the one that indicates its existence.

Three months later, the same square was photographed, during that action it was discovered that a number of pavements had been removed and other pavements had been placed in their place. In this tile the design is different, see the other tile Click for a larger image
