[Montesquieu, sciences and medicine in Europe].
Montesquieu is the first one of his century to be fascinated by sciences, chiefly by sciences of life. He created a prize of plysics and anatomy, used the microscope and even made experiments. Despite his amblyopia and his cataract which made him blind, he was in contact with the intellectual and scientific elite of his time. He has been an innovator through his interest about public health and professional diseases.
