Covering both the history of mathematics and of philosophy,
Descartes's Mathematical Thought reconstructs the intellectual
career of Descartes most comprehensively and originally in a global
perspective including the history of early modern China and Japan.
Especially, it shows what the concept of "mathesis universalis"
meant before and during the period of Descartes and how it
influenced the young Descartes. In fact, it was the most
fundamental mathematical discipline during the seventeenth century,
and for Descartes a key notion which may have led to his novel
mathematics of algebraic analysis.
