This was intended to be the definitive statement of his complete system of philosophy, dealing with everything from cosmology to the nature of human happiness. In this book, Stephen Gaukroger examines the whole system, and reconstructs the last two parts, 'On Living Things' and 'On Man', from Descartes' other writings. He relates the work to the tradition of late Scholastic textbooks which it follows, and also to Descartes' other philosophical writings, and he examines the ways in which Descartes transformed not only the practice of natural philosophy but also our understanding of what it is to be a philosopher. His book is a comprehensive examination of Descartes' complete philosophical system. 676 $a194 700 $aGaukroger$b Stephen$0507374 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455064003321 996 $aDescartes' system of natural philosophy$92442886 997 $aUNINA
