In this new introduction to a classic philosophical text, Catherine
Wilson examines the arguments of Descartes' famous Meditations, the
book which launched modern philosophy. Drawing on the
reinterpretations of Descartes' thought of the past twenty-five
years, she shows how Descartes constructs a theory of the mind, the
body, nature, and God from a premise of radical uncertainty. She
discusses in detail the historical context of Descartes' writings
and their relationship to early modern science, and at the same
time she introduces concepts and problems that define the
philosophical enterprise as it is understood today. Following
closely the text of the Meditations and meant to be read alongside
them, this survey is accessible to readers with no previous
background in philosophy. It is well-suited to university-level
courses on Descartes, but can also be read with profit by students
in other disciplines.

Lessons from a Fall is a collaboration of stories written by three
courageous women who take you through a series of sometimes
harrowing and painful life experiences that transformed their lives
from sadness into love, fulfillment and ultimately to their current
roles as healers of the heart and mind. These three powerful women
prove that through grit and inner strength -- nothing is
impossible.
Epicureanism is commonly associated with a carefree view of life
and the pursuit of pleasures, particularly the pleasures of the
table. However it was a complex and distinctive system of
philosophy that emphasized simplicity and moderation, and
considered nature to consist of atoms and the void. Epicureanism is
a school of thought whose legacy continues to reverberate today. In
this Very Short Introduction, Catherine Wilson explains the key
ideas of the School, comparing them with those of the rival Stoics
and with Kantian ethics, and tracing their influence on the
development of scientific and political thought from Locke, Newton,
and Galileo to Rousseau, Marx, Bentham, and Mill. She discusses the
adoption and adaptation of Epicurean motifs in science, morality,
and politics from the 17th Century onwards and contextualises the
significance of Epicureanism in modern life. ABOUT THE SERIES: The
Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press
contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These
pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new
subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis,
perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and
challenging topics highly readable.
This study of the metaphysics of G. W. Leibniz gives a clear
picture of his philosophical development within the general scheme
of seventeenth-century natural philosophy. Catherine Wilson
examines the shifts in Leibniz's thinking as he confronted the
major philosophical problems of his era. Beginning with his
interest in artificial languages and calculi for proof and
discovery, the author proceeds to an examination of Leibniz's early
theories of matter and motion, to the phenomenalistic turn in his
theory of substance and his subsequent de-emphasis of logical
determinism, and finally to his doctrines of harmony and
optimization. Specific attention is given to Leibniz's
understanding of Descartes and his successors, Malebranche and
Spinoza, and the English philosophers Newton, Cudworth, and Locke.
Wilson analyzes Leibniz's complex response to the new mechanical
philosophy, his discontent with the foundations on which it rested,
and his return to the past to locate the resources for
reconstructing it. She argues that the continuum-problem is the key
to an understanding not only of Leibniz's monadology but also of
his views on the substantiality of the self and the impossibility
of external causal influence. A final chapter considers the problem
of Leibniz-reception in the post-Kantian era, and the difficulty of
coming to terms with a metaphysics that is not only philosophically
"critical" but, at the same time, "compensatory." Originally
published in 1990. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest
print-on-demand technology to again make available previously
out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton
University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of
these important books while presenting them in durable paperback
and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is
to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in
the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press
since its founding in 1905.
In the seventeenth century the microscope opened up a new world
of observation, and, according to Catherine Wilson, profoundly
revised the thinking of scientists and philosophers alike. The
interior of nature, once closed off to both sympathetic intuition
and direct perception, was now accessible with the help of optical
instruments. The microscope led to a conception of science as an
objective, procedure-driven mode of inquiry and renewed interest in
atomism and mechanism. Focusing on the earliest forays into
microscopical research, from 1620 to 1720, this book provides us
with both a compelling technological history and a lively
assessment of the new knowledge that helped launch philosophy into
the modern era.
Wilson argues that the discovery of the microworld--and the
apparent role of living animalcula in generation, contagion, and
disease--presented metaphysicians with the task of reconciling the
ubiquity of life with human-centered theological systems. It was
also a source of problems for philosophers concerned with essences,
qualities, and the limits of human knowledge, whose positions are
echoed in current debates about realism and instrument-mediated
knowledge. Covering the contributions of pioneering microscopists
(Leeuwenhoek, Swammerdam, Malpighi, Grew, and Hooke) and the work
of philosophers interested in the microworld (Bacon, Descartes,
Leibniz, Malebranche, Locke, and Berkeley), she challenges
historians who view the abstract sciences as the sole catalyst of
the Scientific Revolution as she stresses the importance of
observational and experimental science to the modern intellect.
