Delete	Descartes' Bones: A Skeletal History of the Conflict Between Faith and Reason [Buy it!]	Shorto, Russell	USD 10.95 (Sun May 26 02:59:30 2024)	Abebooks	Michael Patrick McCarty, Bookseller	ISBN10: 038551753X, ISBN13: 9780385517539, [publisher: Doubleday Books] Hardcover Sixteen years after René Descartes' death in Stockholm in 1650, a pious French ambassador exhumed the remains of the controversial philosopher to transport them back to Paris. Thus began a 350-year saga that saw Descartes' bones traverse a continent, passing between kings, philosophers, poets, and painters.But as Russell Shorto shows in this deeply engaging book, Descartes' bones also played a role in some of the most momentous episodes in history, which are also part of the philosopher's metaphorical remains: the birth of science, the rise of democracy, and the earliest debates between reason and faith. Descartes' Bones is a flesh-and-blood story about the battle between religion and rationalism that rages to this day. [New Castle, CO, U.S.A.] [Publication Year: 2008]
