The philosopher discussed in the text is René Descartes. Descartes is known for his philosophical statement "Cogito, ergo sum" ("I think, therefore I am"), which he used as a foundational element in his system of knowledge. He argued that the act of thinking itself is undeniable proof of one's existence, even if all else is doubted. This passage reflects Descartes' method of radical doubt, where he discarded all beliefs that could be doubted to find indubitable truths.
