Descartes, Breton ?
the breton point of view
Simon Alain
This book is not a book of philosophy, of history, or of political thought. It is a book that tells of an error of appreciation, which could prove to be at root an error of perception.
Behind the French Descartes lies a Breton Descartes. Not that this is not known. But it is not recognised.Recognising it would permit us a better acquaintance with the Descartes in question. Poet, scientist, adventurer, Descartes left a mark on his time as he left one on posterity. On every age, and maybe on ours in particular...
Descartes teaches us to think. He is a philosopher. And that is what we need. Philosophers. Thinking is not a luxury when it is life that hangs in the balance. Descartes risked his own. What have we learned from it ?
Born in Dinard, Simon Alain lives and works in Brittany, after having lived in Paris. He studied philosophy.
