Material Falsity and Error in Descartes's Meditations approaches
Descartes's Meditations as an intellectual journey, wherein
Descartes's views develop and change as he makes new discoveries
about self, God and matter. The first book to focus closely on
Descartes's notion of material falsity, it shows how Descartes's
account of material falsity - and correspondingly his account of
crucial notions such as truth, falsehood and error - evolves
according to the epistemic advances in the Meditations. It also
offers important new insights on the crucial role of Descartes's
Third Meditation discussion of material falsity in advancing many
subsequent arguments in the Meditations. This book is essential
reading for those working on Descartes and early modern philosophy.
It presents an independent reading on issues of perennial interest,
such as Descartes's views on error, truth and falsehood. It also
makes important contributions to topics that have been the focus of
much recent scholarship, such as Descartes's ethics and his
theodicy. Those working on the interface between medieval and
modern philosophy will find the discussions on Descartes's debt to
predecessors like Suarez and Augustine invaluable.
