Descartes' Bones: A Skeletal History of the Conflict Between Faith and Reason by Russell Shorto
4.0
This wonderfully fascinating book tells the journey of Descartes' corpse from his deathbed to today, especially that of his skull. With each event that happens to the body, there is a story of another scientist in connection to that body. If you have an interest in Descartes' philosophy, or other Enlightenment figures, or the historic or present-day struggle between faith and reason, or anything of that nature, I would recommend this book to you.
