Focusing on the first four images of the Other mobilized in
Descartes' Meditations-namely, the blind, the mad, the dreamy, and
the bad-Reading Descartes Otherwise casts light on what have
heretofore been the phenomenological shadows of "Cartesian
rationality." In doing so, it discovers dynamic signs of spectral
alterity lodged both at the core and on the edges of modern
Cartesian subjectivity. Calling for a Copernican reorientation of
the very notion "Cartesianism," the book's series of close,
creatively critical readings of Descartes' signature images brings
the dramatic forces, moments, and scenes of the cogito into our own
contemporary moment. The author patiently unravels the knotted
skeins of ambiguity that have been spun within philosophical
modernity out of such cliches as "Descartes, the abstract modern
subject" and "Descartes, the father of modern philosophy"-a figure
who is at once everywhere and nowhere. In the process, she
revitalizes and reframes the legacy of Cartesian modernity, in a
way more mindful of its proto-phenomenological traces.
