Index
Descartes´ is widely acknowledged as the founder of modern philosophy and The Cartesian Mind seeks to provide a comprehensive survey of his work, not only placing it in its historical context but also exploring its contemporary significance. Comprising over 40 chapters by a team of international contributors the Handbook covers the following central topics:
Descartes´ life and works; the historical background to Descartes´ works; analysis of Descartes´ thought; Descartes´ early modern reception and Descartes in modern and contemporary thought.
Essential reading for students and researchers in philosophy, Descartes´ work is central not only in the history of philosophy, but all other areas of the subject, including epistemology, metaphysics, philosophy of mind and action, philosophy of science, and ethics.
