The past decade has seen a rapid growth in interest in Descartes' thought, and especially in the relationship between his philosophical and scientific work. The essays in this volume, none of which has been published in English before (three have been published in French) represent the best current work on Descartes' philosophy and science. The leading Descartes scholars who have contributed to the volume include: Alan Gabbey, Jean-Marie Beyssade Gary Hatfield, Margaret Wilson, Willis Doney, Daniel Garber, Edwin Curley, and Jean-Luc Marion.
The essays range over what Descartes himself regarded as his major contributions: metaphysics, physics, and their applications for the benefit of human beings.

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. First Edition. xvii, 342 pp. Original cloth. Near Fine, without dust jacket (as issued). 'A major contribution to Descartes studies, this book provides a panorama of cutting-edge scholarship ranging widely over Descartes's own primary concerns: metaphysics, physics, and its applications. It is at once a tool for scholars and--steering clear of technical Cartesian science--an accessible resource that will delight nonspecialists. The contributors include Edwin Curley, Willis Doney, Alan Gabbey, Daniel Garber, Marjorie Grene, Gary Hatfield, Marleen Rozemond, John Schuster, Dennis Sepper, Stephen Voss, Stephen Wagner, Margaret Welson, Jean Marie Beyssade, Michelle Beyssade, Michel Henry, Evert van Leeuwen, Jean-Luc Marion, Geneviève Rodis-Lewis, and Jean-Pierre Séris. Combining new textual sensitivity with attentiveness to history, they represent the best established scholars and most exciting new voices, including both English speaking and newly-translated writers. Part I examines the foundations of Descartes's philosophy: Cartesian certainty; the phenomenology of the cogito and its modulations in the passions; and the defensibility and comprehensibility of the Cartesian God. The second part examines Descartes's groundbreaking metaphysics: mind's distinctness from and interaction with body; imagination; perception; and language. Part III examines Cartesian science: the revolutionary rhetoric of the Rules and the Discourse; the metaphysical foundations of physics; the interplay of rationalism and empiricism; the mechanics and human biology that flow from Descartes's physics' (Oxford University Press Web site).

Blue Cloth. Condizione: Very Good. No Jacket. First Edition. 342pp. 1993. First editon. No jacket as issued. 8vo. large. Hardcover. Original publisher's blue-grey cloth embossed in blue to the spine. A very good, tight, clean copy. The head and tail of the spine bumped and light bumps to the rear two board corners - presumably the reason why a former bookseller or the publisher stamped 'damaged' to one of the rear blank pages. No other stamps or markings. Some light foxing to the upper fore-edge. A neat former owner's ink name and date to the front paste-down. A very good, clean, tight copy. Codice articolo 236522
