Descartes: Letter to Mersenne, 20 November 1629!<br />

If someone were to expla<strong>in</strong> correctly<br />

what are the simple ideas <strong>in</strong> the human<br />

imag<strong>in</strong>ation out <strong>of</strong> which all human<br />

thoughts are compounded, <strong>and</strong> if his<br />

explanation were generally received, I<br />

would dare hope for a universal<br />

language very easy to learn, to speak<br />

<strong>and</strong> to write. The greatest advantage <strong>of</strong><br />

such a language would be the<br />

assistance it would give to men's<br />

judgement, represent<strong>in</strong>g matters so<br />

clearly that it would be almost<br />

impossible to go wrong.!
