"I think, therefore I am." With that one sentence, René Descartes changed the world. He wasn’t trying to start a revolution. He just wanted to know what was real and what wasn’t. So he questioned everything: his senses, his body, even the entire physical universe. What he found was the one thing no one could take away, the fact that he was thinking. Descartes: The Man Who Split Mind from Matter is the story of a sickly kid turned soldier turned philosopher who accidentally rewired the modern world. It tracks his life, his ideas, and the ripple effects of the split he created between soul and body, thought and flesh, logic and belief. This book breaks down how one man’s doubt became our foundation.
