Book Synopsis Meditations on First Philosophy in Focus by : René Descartes
Download or read book Meditations on First Philosophy in Focus written by René Descartes and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 1993 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rene Descartes' Meditations on First Philosophy In Focus contains the excellent and popular Elizabeth S. Haldane and G.R.T. Ross translation of Rene Descartes' Meditations on First Philosophy. It also contains a portion of the Replies to Objections II, in which Descartes discusses how the method employed in the Meditations, which he calls ``analysis,'' differs from the method of ``synthesis'' employed by the geometer. In his introduction, Stanley Tweyman provides a fresh and detailed discussion of the relationship between Descartes' Rules for the Direction of the Mind and the method of ``analysis,'' and their applications to the Meditations. The six critical papers drawn together in this book present a broad and exegetical commentary on the Meditations and give an indication of the diversity of scholarly opinion which exists on the topic of method in Descartes' philosophy. An extensive bibliography is also included.

Book Synopsis Descartes and Method by : Clarence A. Bonnen
Download or read book Descartes and Method written by Clarence A. Bonnen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-01-04 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rene Descartes credited his success in philosophy, mathematics, and physics to the discovery of a universal method of inquiry, but he provided no systematic description of his method. Descartes and Method carefully examines Descartes' scattered remarks on his application and puts forward a systematic account of his method with particular attention to the role it plays in the Meditations. Daniel E. Flage and Clarence A. Bonnen boldly and convincingly argue against the orthodox conception that Descartes had no method. Through a rigorous and thorough examination, Flage and Bonnen unearth and explain the role of the method of analysis in the Meditations. Descartes and Method is a ground-breaking book that is sure to make a considerable impact on the philosophy community. Anyone wishing to gain a new understanding of Descartes's Meditations should read this book.
Book Synopsis Material Falsity and Error in Descartes' Meditations by : Cecilia Wee
Download or read book Material Falsity and Error in Descartes' Meditations written by Cecilia Wee and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-09-27 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Material Falsity and Error in Descartes’s Meditations approaches Descartes’s Meditations as an intellectual journey, wherein Descartes’s views develop and change as he makes new discoveries about self, God and matter. The first book to focus closely on Descartes’s notion of material falsity, it shows how Descartes’s account of material falsity – and correspondingly his account of crucial notions such as truth, falsehood and error – evolves according to the epistemic advances in the Meditations. It also offers important new insights on the crucial role of Descartes’s Third Meditation discussion of material falsity in advancing many subsequent arguments in the Meditations. This book is essential reading for those working on Descartes and early modern philosophy. It presents an independent reading on issues of perennial interest, such as Descartes’s views on error, truth and falsehood. It also makes important contributions to topics that have been the focus of much recent scholarship, such as Descartes’s ethics and his theodicy. Those working on the interface between medieval and modern philosophy will find the discussions on Descartes’s debt to predecessors like Suárez and Augustine invaluable.
