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.
孟德斯鸠是他那个世纪第一个痴迷于科学的人，主要是生命科学。他设立了物理和解剖学奖项，使用显微镜甚至进行实验。尽管他患有弱视和白内障，最终导致失明，但他仍与当时的知识界和科学界精英保持着联系。他因对公共卫生和职业病的关注而成为一名创新者。
