520    From bestselling, prize-winning author Russell Shorto 
       comes a grand and strange history of the on-going debate 
       between religion and science-seen through the oddly 
       momentous journey of the skull and bones of the great 
       French philosopher Rene Descartes. In this book Shorto 
       brilliantly shows how this argument first started with 
       Descartes and how his ideas (and bones) have remained 
       central to this theoretical struggle for over 350 years. 
       On a brutal winter's day in 1650 in Stockholm, Frenchman 
       Rene Descartes, the most influential and controversial 
       thinker of his time, was buried after a cold and lonely 
       death far from home. Sixteen years later, the pious French
       Ambassador Hugues de Terlon secretly unearthed Descartes' 
       bones and transported them to France. Why would this 
       devoutly Catholic official care so much about the remains 
       of a philosopher who was hounded from country after 
       country on charges of atheism? Why would Descartes' bones 
       take such a strange, serpentine path over the next 350 
       years-a path intersecting some of the grandest events 
       imaginable: the birth of science, the rise of democracy, 
       the mind-body problem, the conflict between faith and 
       reason? The answer lies in Descartes' famous phrase: 
       cogito ergo sum. "I think therefore I am." This quote from
       his work Discourse on the Method, destroyed 2,000 years of
       received wisdom by introducing an attitude of human 
       skepticism towards ideas of medicine, nature, politics and
       society. The notion that one could look to provable facts,
       and not rely on the Church's teachings and tradition, was 
       one of the most influential ideas in human history, 
       ultimately creating the scientific method and overthrowing
       religion as prevailing truth. Descartes' Bones is a 
       fascinating narrative-both macro and micro history in one-
       that twists and turns up to the present day.
