Descartes's Meditations: An IntroductionCambridge University Press, 20/11/2003 - 271 من الصفحات This is a new introduction to a philosophical classic. Drawing on the reinterpretations of Descartes' thought of the past twenty-five years, Catherine Wilson examines the arguments of Descartes' famous Meditations, showing how Descartes constructs a theory of the mind, the body, nature, and God from a premise of radical uncertainty. She discusses in detail the historical context of Descartes' writings and their relationship to early modern science, and at the same time she introduces concepts and problems that define the philosophical enterprise as it is understood today. |
