Their correspondence contains the only known extant philosophical writings by Elisabeth, revealing her mastery of metaphysics, analytic geometry, and moral philosophy, as well as her keen interest in natural philosophy. The letters are essential reading for anyone interested in Descartes's philosophy, in particular his account of the human being as a union of mind and body, as well as his ethics...Other voice in early modern Europe.Philosophy, Modern17th centuryPhilosophy, Modern193ElisabethCountess Palatine,1618-1680.1715279Shapiro Lisa1715280Descartes Rene1596-1650.340660MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910814862703321The correspondence between Princess Elisabeth of Bohemia and René Descartes4109777UNINA
