Does Descartes belong to metaphysics? What do we mean when we say
"metaphysics"? These questions form the point of departure for
Jean-Luc Marion's groundbreaking study of Cartesian thought.
Analyses of Descartes' notion of the "ego" and his idea of God show
that if Descartes represents the fullest example of metaphysics, he
no less transgresses its limits. Writing as philosopher and
historian of philosophy, Marion uses Heidegger's concept of
metaphysics to interpret the Cartesian corpus--an interpretation
strangely omitted from Heidegger's own history of philosophy. This
interpretation complicates and deepens the Heideggerian concept of
metaphysics, a concept that has dominated twentieth-century
philosophy. Examinations of Descartes' predecessors (Aristotle,
Augustine, Aquinas, and Suarez) and his successors (Leibniz,
Spinoza, and Hegel) clarify the meaning of the Cartesian revolution
in philosophy.
Expertly translated by Jeffrey Kosky, this work will appeal to
historians of philosophy, students of religion, and anyone
interested in the genealogy of contemporary thought and its
contradictions.
