Rene Descartes' Meditations on First Philosophy in Focus - Meditations on First Philosophy in Focus (Paperback, New)

This volume contains the popular Elizabeth S. Haldane and G.R.T. Ross' translation of Rene Descartes' "Meditations on First Philosophy", and in addition a portion of the "Replies to Objections II", in which Descartes discusses how the method employed in the "Meditations", which he calls "analysis", differs from the method of "synthesis" employed by the general geometer. In the editor's introduction, Stanley Tweyman provides a detailed discussion of the relationship between Descartes' "Rule for the Direction of the Mind" and the method of "analysis", insofar as each has application to the "Meditations". The six critical papers which Professor Tweyman has drawn together in this book present a broad and exegetical commentary on the "Meditations" and give an indication of the diversity of scholarly opinion which exists on the topic of method in Descartes' philosophy. An extensive bibliography is also included.
