Descartes occupies a position of pivotal importance as one of the
founding fathers of modern philosophy; he is, perhaps the most
widely studied of all philosophers. In this authoritative
collection an international team of leading scholars in Cartesian
studies present the full range of Descartes' extraordinary
philosophical achievement. His life and the development of his
thought, as well as the intellectual background to and reception of
his work, are treated at length. At the core of the volume are a
group of chapters on his metaphysics: the celebrated 'Cogito'
argument, the proofs of God's existence, the 'Cartesian circle' and
the dualistic theory of the mind and its relation to his
theological and scientific views. Other chapters cover the
philosophical implications of his work in algebra, his place in the
seventeenth-century scientific revolution, the structure of his
physics, and his work on physiology and psychology.
