Descartes has often been called the 'father of modern philosophy'.
His attempts to find foundations for knowledge, and to reconcile
the existence of the soul with the emerging science of his time,
are among the most influential and widely studied in the history of
philosophy. This is a classic and challenging introduction to
Descartes by one of the most distinguished modern philosophers.
Bernard Williams not only analyzes Descartes' project of founding
knowledge on certainty, but uncovers the philosophical motives for
his search. With acute insight, he demonstrates how Descartes'
Meditations are not merely a description but the very enactment of
philosophical thought and discovery. Williams covers all of the key
areas of Descartes' thought, including God, the will, the
possibility of knowledge, and the mind and its place in nature. He
also makes profound contributions to the theory of knowledge,
metaphysics and philosophy generally. With a new foreword by John
Cottingham.
