And if someone adequately explained those simple ideas which are in the imagination of men and from which they compose everything they think about, I would then hope for a universal language . . . Now I believe that this language is possible and that one could discover the science on which it depends, by means of which peasants could better decide the truths of things than the wise (philosophes) do at present. (Descartes to Mersenne, November 20, 1629: I, 81-2)
