Through the Eyes of Descartes: Seeing, Thinking, Writing

by Marcia Sá Cavalcante Schuback and Cecilia Sjöholm

"I shall here present my life," writes Descartes in Discourse on Method, "as in a painting" and my method "as a fable." Through the Eyes of Descartes demonstrates how a Cartesian aesthetics is interwoven in his thought. It brings together a variety of materials: his metaphysical writings and essays in natural philosophy, through to his letters, drawings, and printed images.
