"In this essay, I examine Descartes’ interest in the Rosicrucians against the general background of the period, and I consider the reasons why he was subsequently accused of belonging to the movement. I also indicate how some of Descartes’ more daring pronouncements in the works of his maturity can be traced to the hermetic and mystical tradition that influenced his youthful quest for a new method that would unlock the secrets of nature."
