Inhaltsangabe

A solid grasp of the main themes and arguments of the seventeenth century philosopher Rene Descartes is an essential tool towards understanding modern thought, and a necessary entree to the work of the empiricists and Immanuel Kant, and to the study of contemporary epistemology and philosophy of mind. Clear and accessible, this new book serves as an introduction to Descartes's ideas for undergraduates and as a sophisticated companion to hisMeditations for more advanced readers. After a thorough discussion of the main themes and arguments of theMeditations, the historical background of the work, and its critical reception, the author offers his own reflections on Cartesian doubt, thecogito, the causal and ontological proofs of God's existence, the Cartesian circle, Cartesian dualism, and Descartes' views of the material world. The commentary includes and cross-references the full text ofMeditations I, II, and V, and most of Meditations III andVI, employing John Cottingham's highly-praised translation.
