Descartes in Context

Essays

Beschreibung

This volume presents essays on Descartes by pre-eminent Italian historian of philosophy Emanuela Scribano. Originally written and published in French and Italian, these essays are translated into English for the first time. The essays focus on some pivotal theses in Cartesian philosophy: proofs of God's existence, free creation of eternal truths, error, animals as machines, occasionalism, examining them in light of the philosophical context and of classical writers such as Galen, scholastic authors such as Thomas Aquinas, Duns Scotus, Suárez, authors contemporary to Descartes, such as Campanella and Silhon, and philosophers who referred to Cartesian philosophy, such as La Forge and Malebranche.
