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.
L'implosion des montages de l'Interdit met en péril les constructions sociales de la Raison. En même temps plane l'incertitude sur la fonction des États et de l'outil juridique : à quoi servent les lois, les jurisprudences, l'appareil des textes ? Cette interrogation touche à la fabrique de l'homme, l'animal doué de parole. C'est pourquoi ce second volume travaille à remettre en scène le lien vital de la civilisation du droit civil à la problématique du langage.
