About this audiobook
In a Europe torn by wars, censorship, and scientific upheaval, René Descartes decided to distrust everything in order to find a truth that could not be demolished. This book traces his life: the fragile child who becomes a Jesuit student, the traveling soldier who observes the world with fresh eyes, the thinker who inaugurates the method of doubt, and the scientist who dreams of explaining nature through mathematics. Amid lights and shadows — pride, prudence, genius, fears — the real Descartes emerges: the man who sought certainties in the midst of chaos and ended up forever transforming our way of thinking about knowledge, the mind, and the body.
