Occult Book Club #10: A Voyage to the World of Cartesius

Did we just discover a magical journal of some sort revealing the secrets Descartes' only disclosed to his inner circle? Astral travel? Secrets to the transmutation of the soul? Homunculi watchers? The moon is a base for wandering souls? The creation of other universes and dimensions? A COMET-RIDING CHINESE ALCHEMICAL WIZARD?!?!? This book connected a lot of missing dots for me that the mainstream "history" couldn't... In this episode, Thomas breaks down our latest read beautifully and we discuss this "fictional story" about Descartes and what we speculate was his "new science." Written by Gabrial Daniel (1649-1728) Printed and sold in 1692. "A Voyage to the World of Cartesius is a fictionalized travel narrative with elements of science fiction and philosophy. It is aimed principally at the sharp Cartesian distinction between body and soul, relating in a satirical fashion the voyage of the disembodied souls of the narrator Mersenne and of another old friend of Descartes in the upper spheres [of outer space]."Let us know your thoughts on this book...
