This is a limited edition reproduction of one of the artist's paintings.
"Descartes was the father of western dualist thought, the separation of mind from body and therefore man from nature. He conceived the natural world as mere material devoid of intrinsic value. He believed animals were simply machines made out of meat, incapable of feeling, without souls. To prove his point, he vivisected dogs while they were alive to demonstrate that they only had an automatic reflex that mimicked pain. As a founder of the Enlightenment that shaped a conception of ourselves as superior to the natural world: Rene Descartes, thank you for shopping here" --Jake Scharbach
