"A Jesuit, Pardies deserves a place in the history of physics for having intervened in the debate on the ideas of Newton and Huygens at certain decisive moments.

His notions, as bold as they were n?ive, purported to demonstrate the spirituality of the soul by virtue of its capacity to understand the infinite through the 'clear and distinct ideas' of certain geometric arguments." - DSB.
