Descartes' Bones
Russell Shorto
Descartes' Bones is a historical detective story about the creation of the modern mind, with twists and turns leading up to the present day -- to the science museum in Paris where the philosopher's skull now resides and to the church a few kilometers away where, not long ago, a philosopher-priest said a mass for his bones.
