Bernard Williams es una de las principales figuras de la ilosofia
actual. Su Descartes es el mejor estudio de conjunto publicado en
las ultimas decadas sobre el pensamiento cartesiano, alternando en
su exposicion la perspectiva historica con la reconstruccion
racional y critica desde el punto de vista de la filosofio
contemporanea. Todos los aspectos de la vida y de la obra de
Descarles, desde el cogito, el dualismo del alma y el cuerpo o la
prueba ontologica de la existencia de Dios a la matematizacion de
la ciencia o el puesto de la mente en el cosmos, estan
esplendidamente tratados.
Early Modern Histories of Time examines how a range of
chronological modes intrinsic to the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries shaped the thought-worlds of those living during this
time and explores how these temporally indigenous models can
productively influence our own working concepts of historical
period. This innovative approach thus moves beyond debates about
where we should divide linear time (and what to call the ensuing
segments) to reconsider the very concept of "period." Bringing
together an eminent cast of literary scholars and historians, the
volume develops productive historical models by drawing on the very
texts and cultural contexts that are their objects of study. What
happens to the idea of "period" when English literature is properly
placed within the dynamic currents of pan-European literary
phenomena? How might we think of historical period through the
palimpsested nature of buildings, through the religious concept of
the secular, through the demographic model of the life cycle, even
through the repetitive labor of laundering? From theology to
material culture to the temporal constructions of Shakespeare, and
from the politics of space to the poetics of typology, the essays
in this volume take up diverse, complex models of sixteenth- and
seventeenth-century temporality and contemplate their current
relevance for our own ideas of history. The volume thus embraces
the ambiguity inherent in the word "contemporary," moving between
our subjects' sense of self-emplacement and the historiographical
need to address the questions and concerns that affect us today.
