Descartes's Theory of Mind

Viac o knihe

Focusing on the often-misunderstood theory of mind by Descartes, Desmond Clarke presents a radical reinterpretation that situates his philosophy within the context of his scientific work. Clarke challenges the traditional view of Descartes as a proponent of mind/body dualism, arguing instead that his philosophical efforts aimed to harmonize his scientific inquiries with the theological beliefs of his era. This fresh perspective sheds new light on Descartes' contributions to the understanding of the mind.
