Question: My question is what he meant by "I prefer a Leeuwenhoek." However, I looked up the name and saw it was a scientist versus the "Cartesian" represented as a philosopher.

Comments: I found this piece really interesting because I was surprised that he looked further into subjects such as chemistry, physics, geology, botany, zoology, anatomy, history and geography, and combined those ideas to further indulge his knowledge for writing.
