A bold and insightful departure from related texts, Descartes goes beyond the categorical associations placed on the philosopher's ideas, and explores the subtleties of his beliefs.
- An elegant, compelling and insightful introduction to Descartes' life and work.
- Discusses a broad range of his most scrutinized philosophical thought, including his contributions to logic, philosophy of the mind, epistemology, metaphysics, the philosophy of science, and the philosophy of religion.
- Explores the subtleties of Descartes' seemingly contradictory beliefs.
- Addresses themes left unexamined in other works on Descartes.
André Gombay has been chief editor of the Œuvres complètes de René Descartes on CD ROM, and has written on seventeenth-century philosophers. He has taught in Canada, Europe, and Uganda.
