In this authoritative collection an international team of leading scholars in Cartesian studies present the full range of Descartes' extraordinary philosophical achievement. His life and the development of his thought, as well as the intellectual background to and reception of his work, are treated at length. At the core of the volume are a group of chapters on his metaphysics: the celebrated 'Cogito' argument, the proofs of God's existence, the 'Cartesian circle' and the dualistic theory of the mind and its relation to his theological and scientific views. Other chapters cover the philosophical implications of his work in algebra, his place in the seventeenth-century scientific revolution, the structure of his physics, and his work on physiology and psychology. 410 0$aCambridge companions to philosophy. 676 $a194 702 $aCottingham$b John$f1943- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996205067303316 996 $aCambridge companion to Descartes$9889848 997 $aUNISA
