Descartes is popularly known as the 'father of modern philosophy' as he offered an escape from the customary scholastic- Aristotelian philosophy. He denied the Aristotelian-scholastic ideas of natural phenomena derived from end purposes and the significance of sensory experience and proposed his new vision that reformed the entire thought process. He offered a 'new mechanistic view of the natural phenomena'. Thus, he disagreed with the traditional philosophies(Aristotelian and scholastic) that differentiated him and made him stand apart from his precedents.
