- Abstract
Descartes et la fabrique du monde: Le problème cosmologique de Copernic à Descartes, written by Édouard Mehl Although Descartes is the protagonist of the book, Mehl places Descartes' thought into a dense network of philosophers and scientists, among whom Kepler stands out. Mehl links Descartes' description of the origin of the three elements to the Bible, to the cosmogony of the I Timaeus i and to its latest revivals, including that of Kepler.
