5.0 out of 5 stars
Important Descartes,
By Flounder (Substitution Instance) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Cartesian Truth (Hardcover)
This is an important book on Descartes by a U Pitt veteran. I also recommend Williams (Descartes) and Broughton ("D and the Method of Doubt"/Princeton UP), as well as Stroud's Quest for Reality (Oxford UP), MD Wilson, "Ideas and Mechanisms."Vinci's book is an extremely careful reading of D's Meditations. Chapter Two: "Truth, Existence and Ideas" is excellent. Some of the more important material here is in Chapter Four: "Sense Experience of Primary Qualities," as well as Chapter Five: "Perceptual Representation of Ordinary Objects." This book deserves my highest recommendation and is an excellent introduction (as well as rigorous) to a "historical" Descartes--how D's project is relevant and contributes to current philosophy of mind discussions, esp. in perceptual knowledge. I also recommend Sellars' EPM and McDowell. |
