This anthology brings together many of the more significant contributions to Cartesian scholarship, some of which reach far back as the 1930s. Altogether, there are well over 100 detailed analyses and discussions of salient aspects of Descartes' Promethean legacy. Because Descartes intended his system to embrace not only philosophy but also a complete scientific corpus, this collection covers both philosophical issues and scientific views:Volume 1is devoted to questions of Cartesian Method and epistemology;Volumes 2 and 3concentrate on his metaphysics; andVolume 4discusses Descartes' scientific views and achievements. The lucidity and originality of the essays, a number of which are already classics of Cartesian scholarship, will ensure that this anthology becomes a standard in Cartesian philosophy. An invaluable resource,Renee Descartesprovides a large variety of introductions, analyses, criticisms, and appraisals of the problems whichpreoccupied Descartes and the solutions he propounded.Moyal, Georges J. is the author of 'Rene Descartes Critical Assessments' with ISBN 9780415023580 and ISBN 0415023580.
