In this new introduction to a classic philosophical text, Catherine
Wilson examines the arguments of Descartes' famous Meditations, the
book which launched modern philosophy. Drawing on the
reinterpretations of Descartes' thought of the past twenty-five
years, she shows 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. Following
closely the text of the Meditations and meant to be read alongside
them, this survey is accessible to readers with no previous
background in philosophy. It is well-suited to university-level
courses on Descartes, but can also be read with profit by students
in other disciplines.
