Book Overview

""Studies In The Cartesian Philosophy"" is a book written by Norman Kemp Smith and published in 1902. The book is a comprehensive study of the philosophy of Rene Descartes, a French philosopher and mathematician who is widely regarded as the father of modern philosophy. Smith's book is divided into three parts, each of which examines different aspects of Descartes' philosophy. The first part focuses on Descartes' method of doubt and his famous statement ""Cogito, ergo sum"" (""I think, therefore I am""). Smith analyzes the implications of this statement and its importance in Descartes' philosophy. The second part of the book explores Descartes' theory of knowledge and his ideas about the relationship between the mind and the body. Smith examines Descartes' views on perception, imagination, and the nature of reality. The third and final part of the book delves into Descartes' moral philosophy and his ideas about the nature of good and evil. Smith analyzes Descartes' views on free will, the nature of the soul, and the role of God in human affairs. Overall, ""Studies In The Cartesian Philosophy"" is a comprehensive and detailed analysis of Descartes' philosophy.
