Robert Desgabets

Robert Desgabets

Dom Robert Desgabets (1610–1678) was an early defender and teacher of the Cartesian philosophy. He was born in Ancemont and in 1636 became a monk in the Benedictine Order. He taught theology at Saint-Evre at Toul between 1635-1655, and served as Procurer General of Mihiel to Paris during 1648–49. Although he is little-known today, he played an important role in the development and transmission of the Cartesian philosophy, especially in Paris and Toulouse. His major philosophical writings only appeared in print in 1983. His contributions include pioneering work in the study of blood transfusion and mechanics, and his defence and development of the Cartesian philosophy. His unusual marriage of Cartesianism and empiricism challenges many standard views of Descartes and the Cartesian philosophy.
