5.0 out of 5 stars Well-written and very interesting, March 7, 2003

By	J Ken Kuzenski (Raleigh, NC USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm strictly a layman here; this sounded like a nice (and inexpensive) overview and I didn't know anything about Descartes before. You don't have to be a philosophy major to follow this (most of it!), and the author presents the material in a very interesting manner. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars A really goog Descartes primer, February 3, 2003

By	Andrew Grant (Chicago) - See all my reviews

I thought this book was very readable. I'm doing a course on philosophy and this was perfect for getting me interested in Descartes and his ideas. Bracken is a very clear writer. I can recommend it.
