In this new introduction to the life, thought and works of one of
the greatest seventeenth-century philosophers, John Cottingham aims
to place Descartes' ideas in their historical context while at the
same time showing how they relate to a network of philosophical
problems that are still vigorously debated today.
Separate chapters are devoted to Descartes' life and the
intellectual climate of his times; the Cartesian method; the
reconstruction of knowledge from self to God and to the external
world; Descartes' theory of the material universe; his account of
mind and body; and his psychology and theory of the will and
passions.
While doing justice to the complexities of Descartes' thought, the
book presupposes no philosophical training, and all technical
philosophical notions are explained in such a way as to be
intelligible to the first-year student or general reader.
