What role do fables play in Cartesian method and psychology? By
looking at Descartes' use of fables, James Griffith suggests there
is a fabular logic that runs to the heart of Descartes' philosophy.
First focusing on The World and the Discourse on Method, this
volume shows that by writing in fable form, Descartes allowed his
readers to break from Scholastic methods of philosophizing. With
this fable-structure or -logic in mind, the book reexamines the
relationship between analysis, synthesis, and inexact sciences;
between metaphysics and ethico-political life; and between the
imagination, the will, and the passions.
