Descartes' Philosophical Revolution: A Reassessment

by Hanoch Ben-Yami

Book Overview

Ben-Yami shows how the technology of Descartes' time shapes his conception of life, soul and mind-body dualism; how Descartes' analytic geometry helps him develop his revolutionary conception of representation without resemblance; and how these ideas combine to shape his new and influential theory of perception.
