He is most famous for "I think therefore I am."
He came up with this while trying to get rid of everything that we assume. He wanted the most basic fact; something that doesn't arise out of other facts. This is what he found to be the most basic fact that couldn't be disputed.
He figured even if he his body, senses, etc were all lying to him, at the very least if he was contemplating his existence, then he must exist. Because something must be thinking.
